Whether you are driven by spirituality or simply a
sense of adventure, the Camino de Santiago offers a journey steeped in history.
Starting in Porto, you'll cycle along the ancient pilgrimage route towards
Santiago de Compostela. Along the way, you'll pass through historic towns such
as Barcelos, with its lively market every Thursday and iconic rooster symbol,
and Ponte de Lima, where the bridge that spans the River Lima
was originally built by the Romans. At Valença, you
cross the Minho River on a bridge built in 1886, before arriving in Tui, Spain.
Every turn on the route offers the chance to engage with the locals, experience
regional traditions and enjoy centuries-old landmarks. As you approach
Santiago, the excitement builds, culminating in a visit to the Cathedral of
Santiago, a spiritual centre for pilgrims from all over the world.
