Day 1 Arrival in Porto

The entire old city of Porto became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 and there’s plenty going on here to warrant that title. Set on the bank of the Douro River near the Atlantic Ocean, the city is perhaps best known globally for its famous Port wine, wine that goes down very well on the countless terraces and restaurants in Porto!

Day 2 Porto to Povoa de varzim - 37.02km / 23miles

Leaving central Porto, you'll head west along the Douro River to reach the Atlantic coast, then follow the shoreline north through peaceful beach resorts and seaside promenades. You can shorten the day by taking the metro to the coast, reducing the walk to about 27 km; otherwise, walking the full way from the city centre adds 10 km, though it’s a mostly pleasant route. Along the way, you may be tempted to pause and dip your toes in the ocean. By the end of the stage, you’ll arrive in the charming coastal villages of Vila do Conde and Póvoa de Varzim.

Day 3 Povoa de varzim to Viana do castelo - 44.66km / 27.75miles

As you make your way to the market town of Barcelos for your last night in Portugal, enjoy the change of scenery from beach to quiet country lanes screened by eucalyptus and pine woods. Have a picnic or even a swim in the Rio Este and visit a parish church dedicated to St Peter and reputedly ordered by St James himself on his evangelisation of the peninsula.

Day 4 Viana do castelo to Baiona - 63.25km / 39.3miles

Today we continue along the coast of Portugal. You are following a boardwalk for a while before cycling parallel to the coast road on a very safe cycling path. Take advantage of the small villages you are crossing as well as the seaside viewpoints to use your camera, have a bite to eat, or simply relax. You will cross the border to Spain on a ferry and arrive in Baiona via the cycle path again. Baiona is a jewel of a town, small enough to be quiet yet big enough to have plenty to do and see.

Day 5 Baiona to Pontevedra - 61.36km / 38.13miles

The first part of the day coming out of Baiona is again marvellous, with wild coast cycling along the cycle path. You will be passing through Vigo, the largest town of the region and while the busy roads will provide a contrast to the previous days, you will be in and out in 1 hour 30 minutes, then heading to the classic Camino Portugues inland at Redondela. You finish today in the lovely town of Pontevedra. There is a great historical centre and a vibrant atmosphere.

Day 6 - 7 Pontevedra to Santiago de compostela - 64.11km / 39.84miles

Your final day of cycling on this section of the Camino will see you pass through chestnut groves, and pine and eucalyptus woods. A statue of James in Ponte Cabras with his staff will show you the way. Stop in Caldas do Rei for a dip in its hot springs and visit the ruins of the Castro Lupario Fort. Along your journey you will see some of the oldest wayside crosses of Galicia. And as you make your way towards Agro des Monteiros you will be able to see the spires of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. In the afternoon, you will arrive in the City of the Apostle itself, where you can complete your journey with a visit to the Cathedral, a stroll around the old town, and tapas in one of the city’s many charming bars.
