From Porto along the Portuguese coast

The Camino Portugués de la Costa usually starts April with alternating sun, cloud, and quick-moving showers. Sea exposure keeps the route feeling fresh rather than warm, and even brighter days can switch back to wet conditions without much warning.

From Caminha into southern Galicia

After the route turns toward the border and into Galicia, April often becomes greyer and a little wetter. Showers remain a normal part of the walking day, although they are usually broken by clearer intervals instead of turning into constant rain.

Toward Santiago

The final inland run through Padrón toward Santiago still carries that same mixed Atlantic spring pattern. Mild afternoons are common, but the month remains notably changeable, with damp stretches, overcast skies, and only short runs of settled weather.
