Pilgrim walks in Vila do Conde

Known in Portugal as Caminho Português, the Portuguese Way of St. James leads the pilgrim from Lisbon through central and northern Portugal to Galicia, to the destination of all St. James pilgrims, Santiago de Compostela.

Explore the Portuguese Coastal Way, a fascinating pilgrimage route that invites you on an adventure of about 140 kilometers along Portugal's stunning coast. This unique journey combines the serenity of the Atlantic Ocean with the cultural richness of historic cities and towns, from Porto to Valença. Ideal for those seeking introspection and discovery, the Coastal Way offers seven days of exploration of natural landscapes, historic heritage, and genuine local hospitality, culminating in an enriching experience.

Starting route of the Coastal Path of the Portuguese Way to Santiago

Second stage of the Portuguese coastal route. I forgot to start the GPS right away, so a few kilometers are missing from the route. We walk along the sea and very often on wooden boardwalks. Another great stage. We will sleep at the São José de Ribamar pilgrims' hostel
