Walked from Lagos to Porto Covo over 11 day stages began Nov 1st 2024..Great conditions around 22 degrees and sunny most days. No rain. Accomodation booked day by day...plentiful between 25-50 Euros per night for a room. walking South to North good as Sun on your back. Trail marking generally ok. Recommend gaiters for sand dunes. Got to Lagos by train from Faro(2hrs/8Euros) Porto Covo to Faro by Taxi to Erminas Sado(60 Euro)& Train to Faro(13 Euro/2hrs) Overall a nice coastal trail though some long stretches on asphalt/gravel roads.

I started in Porto and hiked up to Santiago de Compostela within 11 days. The first 2-3 days right after leaving Porto it can be very easy to get a little lost along the way, because there are not many yellow arrows pointing the way to Santiago. Other than that, I can totally recommend it. It’s easy to walk, good for all fitness levels and there are a lot of „Albergues“ to stay the night. Also if you are not a pilgrim, you will find tons of options a stay. You love the ocean? Even better! The fresh breeze is going to be your loyal companion. This is a very good way trail for beginner levels.

The best trail to start with. Easy to find the marks, not so popular, but still pilgrims around you and the portugese people are super sweet 🥰
