Gerês Paradise is in Louredo, Vieira do Minho, about 1 hour 15 minutes by car from Porto airport and about 40 minutes from Braga. Spending two or three nights here before you start gives you time to get over the flight, break in your boots on gentle trails, and sort your pack before the first long day.
After your Camino: rest and recover
Santiago de Compostela is roughly a two-hour drive from Gerês, so it is easy to head back into Portugal after the walk. A few nights of real rest make a big difference: soak tired legs in the heated jacuzzi, swim in the infinity pool, visit the thermal waters of the national park, and take short, easy walks to waterfalls.
