Camino Portugues Coastal Route

The Camino Surf & Turf

Add a coastal boost to your Portuguese Camino by walking the Coastal route.

The Camino Portuguese Coastal Route is a new take on a traditional route, and it’s growing in popularity among modern pilgrims. This version of the Portuguese Way starts in vibrant Porto and hugs the Atlantic coast before moving inland to the hilly green Galician countryside. You’ll finish in the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela.

A quiet and peaceful route, you’ll get plenty of time near the ocean to swim, walk, cycle, and eat fresh seafood. Starting from either Porto, Viano Do Castelo or Oia you’ll walk or cycle your way to Santiago de Compostela.

Venture off the classic Camino trails and embrace something a bit different. Embrace the coast of Portugal and Spain!

This walking route is an alternative to the traditional Camino Portuguese which traverses an inland path to Santiago de Compostela.  The Coastal route as its name suggests takes you up the coastline of the north west Portugal crossing the border into the coastal region of Galicia before moving back inland to join the traditional Camino Portuguese to Santiago de Compostela. This first section from Porto to Oia takes you along the Portuguese coastline pass beaches, on boardwalks and provides you with some spectacular oceanic views.

This second section from Oia to Santiago de Compostela takes you along the coast around to the Vigo estuary. You will get the opportunity to stay in the beautiful coastal cities of Baiona and Vigo before re-joining the traditional Camino Portuguese from Redondela to Santiago de Compostela. This region is known for its seafood, in particular, its oysters and scallops. Wash it down with the local Albarino wine a true gastronomic delight.
The Variante Espiritual de Camino de Santiago from Oia is a lesser-known yet profoundly rewarding pilgrimage route that diverges from the traditional Camino Portuguese trail. Starting in the charming coastal town of Oia, situated in the Galicia region of Spain, this variant offers pilgrims a unique and spiritually enriching experience. The journey begins amidst the quaint beauty of Oia, where the sound of crashing waves and the salty breeze of the Atlantic Ocean create a serene and contemplative atmosphere. As pilgrims set forth on this path less traveled, they leave behind the bustling crowds and embark on a more secluded and introspective adventure. The route meanders through picturesque landscapes, lush forests, and rolling hills, providing pilgrims with ample opportunities to connect with nature and find solace in its beauty.
