Portuguese Coastal Camino Way of St James - 15 Days
Overview
Walk one of the world's most celebrated pilgrimage routes from the magnificent city of Porto to the cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela on this 15-day adventure along the Portuguese Coastal Camino. The route traces the Atlantic coastline north through Portugal and into Galicia, with the ocean as a near-constant companion alongside ancient forests, river valleys and charming medieval towns. The history of this small but remarkable country is woven into every stage, and the food and wine are reason enough to linger — fresh seafood pulled straight from the Atlantic, regional wines and the warmth of Portuguese hospitality make each evening as rewarding as the walking itself.

Where You'll Stay
Nights are spent in handpicked two and three-star hotels and charming country houses, each chosen for their character and connection to the region. A hot shower, comfortable bed and ensuite are guaranteed at the end of every day, and a full breakfast sets you up each morning. Alternative properties of equivalent standard may occasionally be substituted depending on availability — this will always be communicated in advance.
A four-star luxury upgrade is available for those seeking extra comfort, with properties that maintain the warmth and cultural character of the region while offering a higher standard of facilities. A single supplement applies to the upgraded option.
What You'll Eat
Breakfast is included each morning. Lunch and dinner are yours to explore independently, with plenty of restaurants, cafes and tapas bars in the towns along the route. While the walk begins in the Portuguese border town of Tui, most of the journey is through Galicia in northern Spain, where the food scene is excellent — hearty Galician stews, fresh seafood and local cheeses are among the regional highlights. Both Portugal and Spain produce exceptional wines, some of which are found nowhere else in the world, and evenings on this route are a genuine pleasure at the table.
Note: Drinks and alcohol are not included with meals, with the exception of tea, coffee and juice served with breakfast.
