Completed the Camino De Santiago Portugues costal route with my 17 year old son. Loved every minute of it!!! 180 miles, 13 days... the app crashed a few times towards the end and didn’t record the last couple of days which was a bummer. As far as the trail goes, we started in Porto Portugal. Got our pilgrim books from the cathedral and left the next morning. Followed the river out of Porto and toward the coast. Finally started seeing the yellow arrows and followed them for the next 170 miles. If anyone has any questions about this route please feel free to message me and I’ll be glad to chat with you!!
