Walking together through the landscapes around us and the landscapes within.
A slow pilgrimage through Galicia, designed to reconnect body, mind and inner rhythm.
“The journey itself is home”
(Matsuo Bashō)
The Portuguese Camino from Vigo is one of the most important pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela.
For centuries, pilgrims have travelled north through Portugal before crossing into Galicia and continuing on foot towards Santiago. Starting in Vigo allows walkers to experience the final 100 kilometres of this historic route while following paths that have welcomed pilgrims from across Europe for generations.
The Portuguese Camino offers the perfect balance between cultural heritage, peaceful natural landscapes and vibrant Galician towns. Passing through forests, vineyards, medieval villages and ancient pilgrimage paths, it invites walkers to discover the rich traditions and warm hospitality that make this route so special.
Walking the Portuguese Camino means slowing down, embracing the rhythm of each day and creating space for reflection, connection and quiet transformation with every step toward Santiago.
Which stages will we walk?
DAY ONE: ARRIVAL IN VIGO

DAY TWO: VIGO – REDONDELA
Leaving the city behind, we gradually enter the Galician countryside. Forest paths, quiet lanes and beautiful panoramic views accompany us as we walk towards Redondela, where the Coastal Portuguese Camino joins the Central Portuguese Route. From here, pilgrims from different paths continue together towards Santiago.
