Watch: travel inspiration for the Portuguese Camino to Santiago de Compostela
The traditional Portuguese Camino route is beautiful and packed with history. If you like to get a taster of it before you set off yourself, watch the below video.
The more spiritually connected of all of the Camino routes to Santiago, the Portuguese Way brings walkers and cyclists a quieter and flatter experience. Portugal is where the apostle St James, whose tomb is at Santiago Cathedral, first preached and many believe that his final journey to Santiago took him through Portugal. Today, the circumstances have somewhat upgraded and you can have your accommodation, meals, luggage transfers, maps & route directions all organised for you with complete backup and support while on your trip.
Starting in Lisbon, the Portuguese Way leads through delightful cities such as Porto, Coimbra, and Ponte de Lima. Or there is the even quieter coastal way to follow on foot or by bike.
Whathever way you prefer to travel, get inspired with the stunning Portuguese Way video below.
