[Gocamino] Camino Portugués

[Robert Spenger]

The main problem with the camino Portugués is that it is very short.  
 From Tui, or even Valença, it is just a bit over the 100 km required  
for the compostela. It is hardly enough to really get the feeling of a  
pilgrim experience. If you start from much further south, there will  
be only a very small number of other pilgrims (if any) and the  
facilities for pilgrims are almost non-existent, especially south of  
Porto.

If avoiding traffic is important to you, you might consider the Camino
Portuguese. Walking last October, I never shared with more than six and
three times I was alone in the albergues. Of course, it will be  
different in
2010, but nothing compared to what you'll experience on the Camino  
Frances
and it will have more facilities than what you'll find on the Via de la
Plata.
