Camino de Santiago, Day 1 ,The Portuguese Litoral Route. Start in Porto

Do you recommend starting from Matisinhos or Labruge?

Labruge for sure! If you start in Matisinhos you still have to get over the long bridge and everything around there is big industrial. It's a sea, inland commercial port and nothing but industry. You can take a bus from Porto but go to Labruge. That's a small seaside village with not a lot of accommodations. But you are on a real coast and can walk on the boardwalk which is quite pleasant. Be prepared as depending on the beaches you will run into development even after Labruge . Eventually we gave up on the Litoral route and worked our way to the Coastal Route. BTW you asked the correct question. I wish someone would have warned me about the 1st section. Also get the Uber app as Uber is very convenient and really quite cheap for the service. That way if you hit an unpleasant area just skip that area. There are better ways to suffer
