A lively Portuguese beach resort with a long sandy beach, casino, harbour, and a wide range of pilgrim services including a municipal albergue.
Povoa de Varzim is a popular Portuguese beach resort with a long sandy beach, a harbour, and a lively town centre with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops.
Pilgrims will find a full range of services here, including a municipal albergue, private hostels and hotels, supermarkets, pharmacies, and ATMs. The city has a metro connection to Porto, making it another viable alternative starting point.
The harbour area is worth exploring for fresh seafood, and the town's medieval quarter around the Praca do Almada retains a traditional fishing village character despite the modern beachfront development.
