From Porto begins the most walked section of the Portuguese Camino. The Central route heads inland through streets and industrial estates for quite a few kilometres; little by little come hamlets, stone walls and maize fields. Vilarinho is small: some carry on a little further to Arcos or São Pedro de Rates.
