Porto, Portugal’s second city after Lisbon, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its striking architecture, scenic riverside setting, and renowned port wine. A full day here offers a rich mix of culture and charm that leaves visitors eager to return.

OverNight:Porto

day 2 - Scenic Coastal Hike from Matosinhos to Povoa de Varzim

Porto - Povoa de Varzim. Today you set off from Porto with a short transfer to Matosinhos, where your walking journey begins. You will follow the picturesque banks of the Douro River before reaching the Atlantic coast, where you will pass a series of inviting beaches. The path leads you along wooden boardwalks that cross low dunes and stretch across the shoreline, offering peaceful coastal views and a refreshing sea breeze. This first stage is pleasant and undemanding, with flat terrain and no major climbs, allowing you to ease into the rhythm of the trail while taking in the natural beauty around you.

Please note: You must leave your luggage in the lobby at each hotel or hostel by 8 AM. It will be transferred to your next stop, so you will not need to carry it during the trek.

Estimated travel distance and travel time: Approx. 25.4 km & 6 hrs

Meals:1 Breakfast

OverNight:Póvoa de Varzim

day 3 - Trek to Esposende

Povoa de Varzim - Esposende. This morning, you begin a day that offers a rich mix of landscapes and experiences. Your walk will take you along the scenic coastline, allowing you to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and open views, before you gradually head slightly inland. As the terrain shifts, you’ll encounter sections of paved road and asphalt, adding some variety to your journey. One of the highlights of the day will be crossing the tranquil Cádavo River, a peaceful stretch that marks your approach to the welcoming town of Esposende, where the day's walk concludes.

Estimated travel distance and travel time: Approx. 21 km & 5 hrs

Meals:1 Breakfast

OverNight:Esposende

day 4 - Neiva River Valley to Viana do Castelo

Esposende - Viana do Castelo. After breakfast, you leave behind the coastal landscapes that have been your faithful companion until now and head inland towards the North Coast Natural Park. Your route takes you along the picturesque Neiva riverbed, offering a serene and refreshing change in scenery.

As you continue your journey, you gradually approach Viana do Castelo, a charming city known for its architectural charm and historical richness. A special highlight is the beautifully preserved old town, full of character and well worth exploring. Although today’s stage does not follow the coastline, the varied natural surroundings and peaceful atmosphere ensure that it is no less scenic or enjoyable than your previous coastal paths.

Estimated travel distance and travel time: Approx. 25.1 km & 6 hrs

Meals:1 Breakfast

OverNight:Viana do Castelo

day 5 - Trek to Caminha

Viana do Castelo - Caminha. This morning marks your final full day in Portugal before you will cross into Galicia, and it begins with a choice that will shape your journey. You must decide whether to follow the yellow arrows that guide you inland along the official Camino route, or to take the less formally marked but equally rewarding coastal alternative.

Opting for the coastal path means walking alongside the beaches and the sea, with the soothing sounds of waves accompanying your steps. Although this route isn’t as clearly signed, it is straightforward to follow and offers a stunning backdrop without risk of getting lost.

Whichever path you choose, both will lead you to the quaint fishing village of Vila Praia de Âncora. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, this village boasts a lovely city beach and a scenic promenade that invites a relaxed pace. After a break or perhaps a leisurely stroll through town, you’ll continue on to your destination for the day: Caminha. Situated at the mouth of the Miño River, this historic town offers a fitting farewell to Portugal, blending rich heritage with riverside charm.

Estimated travel distance and travel time: Approx. 27 km & 7 hrs

Meals:1 Breakfast

OverNight:Caminha

day 6 - Coastal Journey to Ola

Caminha - Ola. After breakfast, you begin a meaningful stage of your journey as you will leave Portugal and enter Galicia. To start, you will cross the Miño River—the natural border between the two countries—by ferry, which takes about 15 minutes. Ferry times vary with the tide, and there are typically no services on Mondays, though taxi boats are available with payment made locally, so planning is important.

Once in Spain, you will follow the coastal path with fresh sea views guiding your way. Soon, you will reach the fishing town of A Guarda, known for its colourful houses and rich maritime character. One of the key highlights is Monte de Santa Tegra, home to the remains of an ancient fortress dating back to the 4th century BC, offering insight into Galician history and striking views.

You'll then continue through the quiet village of Portecelo before arriving in Oia, where the impressive Cistercian Monastery of Santa María stands out as a cultural landmark. Today’s journey offers a memorable mix of natural beauty and historical significance.
