The Portuguese Way is, after the French Way, the second most famous Jacobean route and a perfect alternative thanks to its gentle terrain and the many charms Portugal offers. We propose walking the Portuguese Way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, crossing the so-called Minho border: 12 stages that will take you from the main urban center in northern Portugal to the capital of Galicia and one of the three great holy cities of Christianity. Atlantic coastlines, green hills and idyllic forests shape the landscape. Gastronomy, culture and the striking rural Portuguese baroque architecture complete a perfect combination.
