Caromac is going to walk 100kms of the Camino Portuges this Spring and I'll be shadowing her in the motorhome and we expect to take about 10 days, although this is pretty flexible depending on daily progress. We've got the Camino Portuges guidebook which is fine for the route and hostels etc but our plan is incorporate the use of the motorhome for her nightly accommodation.

She's going to be starting at Tui so we're fine for overnight parking at the Aire there and for several of the following days there are Aires/stopovers conveniently situated at Mos, Arcade, Pontevedra, Milladoiro, and Santiago de Compostela.



However, there is quite a gap between Pontevedra and Milladoiro (just before the finish at Santiago) so I wondered if anyone knows of any stopover locations between the 2 and not too far from the route itself? Or anywhere else along the rest of the route to give us some other alternatives.

Has anyone else on here walked any parts of the various Camino de Santiago routes?
No I haven't done it myself, but I've seen others doing it - that was enough to wear me out!

Well done CaroMac :thumbs: :thumbs:

Great adventure and a new twist to motorhoming, look forward to hearing all about it in April. No doubt Digger will think all his birthdays have come at once.

Yes we've seen walkers trudging along the route before - does look tiring , but must be quite a sense of achievement at the end.

A new twist indeed. Digger has enjoyed the training so far :roll: although he will probably only take part in short measures...

Thanks Pete & Jan, although it's Caro who needs the luck - my part is the easy bit :thumbs: . The 100kms will roughly be split into daily distances of 10kms for the 10 days.

If the going is good then maybe a little more or less if its a struggle. Good thing about the motorhoming bit is that there is no definite walking destination to each day.

Well done Caromac for even considering this trek - are you doing it for a charity or just fancying a break from Neil. Only joking!

Keep us posted on your route - Sorry no help with stopovers.

We did stop overnight at Vila Nova de Cerveira some years ago. This was by the Aqua centre where there was a lot of parking.

This may be off your route though.
