On the first day of the Portuguese Way of St. James along the ocean (Senda Litoral), I walked a distance of 22.9 km and reached Vila do Conde.
Way of Saint James
I walked the Portuguese Way of Saint James from Porto to Santiago de Compostela along the coast on the Senda Litoral and Camino da Costa. The length of the route is about 270 km, the walking time is 13 days from September 11 to September 24.
The Rey Fernando guesthouse is located next to the bus station, a 20-minute walk from the Cathedral of Santiago.
Alojamiento Camino Portugues Oia is a pilgrim hotel located in Villadesuso, offering a convenient stop along the Way of Saint James. Despite lacking a nearby grocery store, amenities like a gas station, restaurants and bars are accessible. Run by a kind administrator, the hotel provides comfortable rooms coupled with an ocean view, and vital facilities including a kitchen, laundry, and vending machines. A stay at this delightful place ensures a memorable seaside retreat experience for travellers.
