Stage
Ease of walking: Mostly easy with some gentle hills as you leave Porto; urban sidewalks and coastal trails.
The first stage leaves the urban bustle of Porto and follows coastal and suburban paths toward the quieter parish of Vilarinho. It's a short opening day ideal for adjusting to the pilgrim rhythm and carrying light packs.
River estuary and coastal views give way to beaches and low coastal plains.
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
