Details

From Porto, the Portuguese Camino splits into two: the Central Route and the Coastal Route. While many pilgrims simply follow one path on their way to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, we hike the very best sections of both, while also taking an extra-special detour to navigate the lesser-trod Spiritual Variant, said to be the original route of Saint James. The result is an unforgettable week of walking through the most picturesque sections of northern Portugal and Spain, ending with a showstopping arrival in the holy town of Santiago de Compostela.

Highlights

  • Explore the picturesque medieval city of Viana de Castelo
  • Take the lesser-known Spiritual Variant, said to be the original way of St James
  • Board a boat to follow the 17 crosses of the Translatio Route
  • Discover the 51 ancient mills and waterfalls on the Stone and Water Route
  • Complete your adventure with a visit to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela

Included in Price

  • All breakfasts are included. A typical breakfast in Portugal and Spain might consist of coffee with milk, toast with ham, olive oil, tomatoes, cheese and butter and jam. Bakery items, fruit and juice are also popular. During this trip, expect different variations of breakfast at our chosen hotels, but they will all include at least some of the standard breakfast items popular in Portugal and Spain. Northern Spain produces a wide range of delicious food, from fish and seafood to quality meat, vegetables and fruit. Your leader will recommend good places to eat. Sometimes it will be tapas, sharing raciones (literally portions) as a group, and sometimes you can choose from the menu. On the Portuguese Camino, restaurants and bars offer set menus, which usually include a choice of five starters, five mains and dessert, coffee and drink for about €12-€15. You can also try pulpo a la feira, a delicacy in Galicia, which is sliced octopus with paprika, olive oil and sea salt. Sometimes it is also served with grelos (sliced boiled potatoes). Mealtimes in Portugal and Spain are later than in many other countries; dinner is usually taken between 8pm and 9.30pm. Please note, meat and fish are staples in Portugal and Spain. Vegetarians can be catered for, as can other dietary requirements, although there may not be the same choice or variety as you have at home. Please advise us upon booking.
