Day ten on the Camino Portugués between Redondela and Pontevedra is one that I walked on my first Camino back in 2022 when I took the Central route from Porto, so I was interested to see if there had been (m)any changes. It had been one of my favourite stages – would that be the

Day nine on the Camino Portugués between Vigo and Redondela was much shorter than the previous stage which we were grateful for as the rain that had started as we arrived in Vigo had got significantly worse!

Day six on the Camino Portugués between Caminha and Oia and it was time to leave Portugal behind and cross to Spain for the remainder of the Camino. It seemed that we’d barely spent any time in Portugal and we were already almost at the halfway point of our journey. Day Six: Caminha to OiaDate:

Day five on the Camino Portugués between Viana do Castelo to Caminha was an improvement on day four’s wet and wild weather although you wouldn’t really have guessed that when we first set off. We’d decided again to take the Senda Litoral and stay as close to the coast as possible rather than take the

Day four on the Camino Portugués between Esposende and Viana do Castelo was a long one and, unfortunately, it was one of those days where we needed our wet weather gear for most of the day!

Day two on the Camino Portugués between Praia de Angeiras and Póvoa de Varzim was spent following the Senda Litoral which meant that we walked almost entirely alongside the ocean.
