Ideal for those who enjoy adventure, nature and personal challenge, this route follows the inspiring Portuguese Coastal Way to Santiago de Compostela. The journey begins with a scenic ferry crossing to A Guarda, the starting point of an unspoilt coastal stretch that leads to the charming town of Baiona, known for its lively tapas bars. Between Vigo and Redondela, take in views over the Ría de Vigo, with the Cíes Islands and mussel farms shaping the landscape.
In Redondela, the route joins the Central Portuguese Way, crossing forests, farmland, villages and rivers on the way to the historic centre of Pontevedra, perfect for a break in its welcoming squares. Continue to the spa town of Caldas de Reis and discover Padrón, famous for its peppers and its strong connection to Saint James, before bringing this unforgettable journey to an end in Santiago de Compostela.

What this experience offers you
Blend beaches, countryside and historic towns on the Portuguese Coastal Camino from Porto to Santiago. To begin, explore Porto’s cathedral quarter and riverfront lanes. Then transfer to Matosinhos and follow ocean-side boardwalks past fishing villages, dunes and nature reserves. Afterwards, weave inland through farms and woodland before returning to the coast near Caminha for the ferry to Spain. From here, Galicia brings rugged shores, Celtic hillfort views and lively tapas towns. Finally, join the Central Way near Redondela and continue via Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padrón to the cathedral square in Santiago.
