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.

Had a lovely stay here - a nice starting point or end to a short first stage after Porto. Very open sharing living spaces, well equipped kitchen and very close to the beach and a Lidl. Beds in dormitory were comfortable and bathrooms were fine - quite spacious.

You can get a stamp at the tourist office. Keep in mind it closes at 1pm on Sunday and it is not open on Monday.

Not far from the route or from the town centre (very short walk to Lidl), and really lovely and cosy! Quite quiet when I stayed. Filled with gorgeous art. Was offered a gorgeous wax stamp for my passport (unfortunately it flaked off during the next days walk, but still very appreciated!)

27€ for a 10 bed dorm. Highly recommend if you’re in matosinhos

He has a pilgrim menu for lunch. Appetizer, a glass of wine or something else to drink, a main course, dessert, and coffee. Very wonderful service…he gets the produce from his farm and makes his own pasta!

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.
