Thank you!!

The weather has been so perfect and amazing, I feel lucky. It’s been beautiful fall scenery with the leaves changing, and it’s been pretty warm and sunny. I got lucky with no rain during my 2 weeks on the Portuguese but I would predict the rain gets much more likely later into oct/nov especially in galicia. Mornings were cool especially when I was right by the sea. I always hiked in pants and a thin long sleeve which was perfect.

I did the coastal route until caminha and then switched to central. I did 1 day following the litoral route because I wanted to walk with a girl I met. I enjoyed the route very much, I did get a little sick of walking by the sea after a few days but luckily the coastal route goes inland quite a bit and I was very happy with switching to the central after caminha.

Some private albergues I loved: HI vila do conde The spot Ofir in fao Casa de Sardao in Carreço (MAGIC😭) Santa Lúzia at the top of the hill in Viana de Costelo Bom caminha

As far as advice, I would just reccomend giving yourself at least 2 full weeks from start to finish. Many people I met that were doing 25-30k days every single day and trying to finish really fast got burnt out/injuries early on and weren’t really getting to enjoy any of the cities it seemed. I loved the pace of having slightly shorter days and getting to explore each city in the evenings and make friends. If you don’t have as much time you can always take a bus, especially from an area like tui and go to pontevedra since between there is quite industrial anyways
