We're Campbell and Alya passionate outdoor lovers and adventure junkies. In the last couple of years, hiking turned from a hobby to a job. Now we go on business trips to the world's best outdoor destinations to write and make videos (this part is very new for us) about our hiking experiences. In May 2018 we walked our first Camino de Santiago route, the Portuguese Camino and completely fell in love with it. Since then we've walked 6 different Camino routes and not planning to stop. If you like hiking, trekking, walking the Camino and other outdoor activities our channel is for you. Let's take a hike and explore the world in a slow travel mode!

I wear Hykes Pinnacle and my husband has the Hykes Escapes, best shoes I have owned, my feet are so much stronger affter only a few months, we both also love them for walking.
What app did you use for the aqueduct route? Thank you
Thank you for your very informative videos. Your videos are of great help for my planning stage. I hope to be there in late August...
Wow! Beautiful ❤
amazing
Hey guys, awesome video...loved it. We're about to hit the Camino in over a month and were keen on getting the right socks. I've checked the Danish Endurance socks and wanted to know what % merino wool do you typically buy for your socks. Many thanks and keep up the great work.
Great video, thanks. What time of year was this?
Thank you. We walked the trail in May
Great video 👏.🎉 I’ll look into that hike 👍
The trail is fantastic. We've done some of the sections more than once and every time enjoy the walk. Cheers
Looks amazing. Thank you for this video and for the information about this camino on your website - invaluable!
Thank you for your feedback. Buen Camino!
well done, your online guides are great, no-one else give such good information about these three routes
Thank you for the comment. We're glad you've found our content helpful. Buen Camino!
Hi, thank you for this beautiful video! Do you think it is necessary to book rooms at end september and beginning october?
Thank you for the comment. October is a popular time for walking the Rota Vicentina. I'd suggest booking rooms in advance in smaller towns and villages. In bigger towns e.g. Sagres, Lagos you'll find accommodation without advanced booking. Good luck
Showing maps was a bit helpful..but you are filming for scenery ..not helping other walkers. I was disappointed.
The videos is a supporting content to our post which has a lot of details and information. If you follow the link provided in the video description you'll find it. Buen Camino
Any advice to get to the Spiritual Variant from some point in Central Route before Spain, then continue on to Santiago? Thanks.
You can take a bus to Pontevedra from most places on the Central Route. The Spiritual Variant starts 3 km past Pontevedra, the easiest way is to walk there from the town.
What month did you walk the camino?
Hi. I waled in September
I’ll be there in September. Can’t wait!
Loved this! Which route would you choose for first timers... Portuguese interior route from Tui or from Sarria? 2 friends walking in our 60's.
I like the route from Tui more maybe because it's less busy than the Camino from Sarria. It depends on when you walk as well. If in the peak season then the Camino from Tui is better (fewer people). If you walk offseason it's better to do the Sarria route because it has more accommodation options that stay open during winter.
thanks for your explanations and video. I will start my camino on the 1st of June and my route of choice will be the litoral until Vila do Conde. I will try to start very early in the morning to avoid the sun. I hope also to avoid the wind that normally shows up in the afternoon.
Good choice! Good luck with your walk and Buen Camino!
Der Küstenweg beginnt an der Kathedrale in Porto, Treppe zum Fluss und dann zum Atlantik.... nicht durch Porto....
The Coastal Route goes inland till Vila do Conde. The Litoral Way goes along the Douro River and then along the coast. Please, don't mislead people if you don't possess the correct information. There are official route markers and signs. I walked all the routes myself and know what I'm talking about. Buen Camino
Thanks so much for this great video explaining the 3 different routes out of Porto! It's a little confusing when the Coastal route basically goes inland, and the Litoral is actually the one that goes along the coast, so thanks for clarifying that...most helpful! Would you say one could hike the Litoral in May without having reservations, but still find a guest house or hotel the same day?
Glad it was helpful! May is one of the most popular months to walk the Camino. It might be difficult to find well-priced private rooms in smaller towns along the coast. If you don't mind staying in dormitories sometimes (in case you can't find private) then you don't have to book. If you prefer hotels I'd suggest checking in advance. In bigger towns you should be able to find a place on a day but in small towns it might be better to book in advance as there are limited options. Buen Camino
@@StingyNomads Thanks for the great info...much appreciated!
Thank you so much for showing us the three ways out of Porto. Very helpful! I start on April 16 and I am so grateful I am able to do a Camino.
Enjoy the walk. I hope you have good weather. Buen Camino
I walked this in September 2022 after walking from Lisbon. It is a wonderful wonderful 2-3 day walk. The best walk of any of my caminos. Incidentally, after the boat trip i carried on to O Millidoero, leaving just 8km to go to Santiago.
Thanks for the comment. We walked the Spiritual Variant the first time when we walked the Camino from Lisbon too. It is indeed one of our favorite Camino routes.
What month did you do this walk?
We walked the Camino Finisterre in November
Thank you for the video. I plan to do this route this coming September, so this is really helpful for me. May I ask where you stayed in Armenteira?
We stayed in the public albergue in Armenteira
@@StingyNomads thank you
No comparison with "Frances" or "Portugues".
The video shows a three-day walk from Porto, examining the Central, Coastal, and Litoral Camino routes, providing detailed maps and explanations. Thumbs up👍😍TFS
Thank you for your kind comment.
Thank you. Walking in May and delighted to find this, much appreciated 🙏
Enjoy the walk and Buen Camino!
So you walked the Litoral way from Porto in May 2023? I ask as I am trying to plan my first Camino & 1st Portuguese Camino independently from here in Sydney Australia. So I’m wondering is it better to walk in Mid June or July🤔 Thanks for suggestions and advice.
Yes, I walked the Litoral Way end of May. I'd say June is overall a better month to visit Europe. July and August are the hottest and the busiest months here. Along the Coastal Route hotels and guesthouses get expensive and fully booked albergues will be your best option.
Thank you
Thank you for the informative video!
I'll add my thanks to the other viewers. What a great idea to show us all three routes in one video! You have confirmed what I have decided; I'll begin on May 4th on the Litoral Way. Your efforts are much appreciated!
Thank you for the comment. We're glad our video is helpful. Enjoy the walk! Buen Camino!
Thank you so much for this! We leave in 67 days for Oporto, and will be taking the Senda Litoral!
Thank you for the comment. Good luck and Buen Camino@
It’s Porto NOT Oporto!😊
@@brigidspencer5123 “Oporto” is the Portuguese spelling. Like “Roma” is Rome in Italy.
Sounds great, great to see you back once again!
Hey, thanks!
Heyy, welcome back!
Useful, thank you.
Spiritual variant is good opcion
Спасибо за обзор снаряжения! Вы очень классная пара! =) До встречи на Камино!
What do you do for hydration? Would you use a water bladder or bottles?
Hello. We carry 1l bottles. And refill them along the way
Congratulations. You are a strong walker. In my experience you can walk 30 kms after a rest and a good nourishing lunch with meat or fish.
Great video-what camera did you use?
Hi. We used GoPro9 to film this video.
Ahhhh: walk the Mesta in the spring with waves of green wheat and poppies galore-my beautiful Meseta.
In fall it looks very different.
Thanks for making this and your walking guide. Both are very helpful and convinced me to try to walk the Rota Vincentina solo in 2024.

Is this Part of route cyclable with a bike?
We did the Camino Francis from St Jean in non gortex trail runner Hokas. They held up great. Only one blister after walking all day in the rain.
We are planing to this trek in end of Jan , first timers for trekking . Do you think there will be ice throughout the trek ?
Hello from Florida! Thank you for sharing your video it was very nicely done! Will be her in may. Buen Camino!
14:00 those trees are not olive trees. They are Holm Oks, Encinas in spanish. Remember. Its acorns (bellotas in spanish) are a good food for pigs. the best Ham is "Jamón pata negra de bellota". There must be also cork oaks over there.
19:35 Yes, those are olive trees.
Thank you for making this video, i am walking the Portugeuse Camino next year, i will add this variant to it, looked very nice. Thanks you for all ! Warm greetings from Belgium (Antwerp)
What brand of hiking pants did you show for women? Thanks! Loved how compact they were.
way too much pavement walking , there are many other better places to walk that are more fun and exciting . (my personal thought)
Can't you make a coffee before you leave the accommodation? No kettle or anything you could use to prepare something? 11 km is too much without a coffee!
