Self-Guided Camino: The Portugue Overview

Delve into the journey of Pilgrims and walk from Porto to Santiago de Compostela

It is said that there is the Camino you walk and the Camino you live. This 2 week walking holiday allows you to live the Portuguese Way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. Taking the route less travelled you will start your journey in the UNESCO city of Porto, before stepping out to discover beautiful peaceful landscapes, vineyards, and quaint Portuguese villages with rich histories and legends. You will follow in the footsteps of ancient pilgrims; discover the legend behind the symbolic rooster of Portugal and cross the Spanish border to embrace Galician culture. You will even spend the night in Pontevedra, where great explorer Columbus’s flagship, the Santa Maria, was crafted. Along the way you will stay in a welcoming selection of hotels and guesthouses, close to the Camino on a bed and breakfast basis, giving you opportunity to dine on the fantastic seafood dishes the locals love so much. The jewel in the crown is your arrival at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, an emotional moment for many walkers as you realise your achievements over the past 2 weeks, the memories you have made and the Camino you have lived!
