The Metro of Porto Line A (Linha de Matosinhos) ends at Matosinhos and is a convenient way to bypass the least exciting scenery when leaving Porto. It is also possible to arrive here via the Porto Airport with only one transfer, if you do not plan to see Porto.

The Road

The camino enters town along the beach-front, and turns inland when it reaches the harbor, making a zig zag path to the bridge over the Río Leça. At the end of the bridge you will turn left at the large roundabout, to follow the Rua Hintze Ribeiro back towards the waterfront.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

There is a freshly renovated local market on the left right before the bridge. Refreshing to get some fruit.
Also if you fallow the path after the tourism info center some kilometer later there is a tiny post office that gives a beautiful stamp.

Ich kann dieses Hostel fuer 15.00 Euro sehr empfehlen. Ganz in der Nähe der Information in der Ihr den Stamp bekommt und der offizielle Weg beginnt. Ich habe viele Caminopilgerer getroffen
Achtung das Etagenbett ist fuer Pummelige schwer zu erklimmen.
