The Easy Portuguese Coastal Camino de Santiago

We’ve designed this tour with you in mind if you like to take a leisurely pace while walking shorter distances than our other Camino tours.

The Portuguese Coastal Camino de Santiago is a stunning alternative route to the Portuguese Camino de Santiago.  During the Middle Ages, there were many routes that crossed the countryside leading towards Santiago de Compostela, among which the routes from Portugal had special importance.

The Coastal route was followed by pilgrims from western lands and those who arrived in Portugal’s ports from overseas who wished to get a Compostela following this coastal route.

Following the Atlantic Coast towards Santiago de Compostela, our self-guided tour will take you through charming seaside towns and villages in Northern Portugal before crossing by ferry to A Guarda, in Spain. You will discover the wild Atlantic beauty and sandy beaches of Northern Portugal and Spain, taste delicious seafood and wine, stay in fishing villages and feel refreshed by the maritime beauty of this route.

You will begin your adventure in the old city of Porto, Portugal. Porto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and well worth exploring. Don’t forget Porto is famous for its Port Wine Caves – no trip to Porto is complete without a visit to at least one of these Caves.
