Itinerary

Walk in the footsteps of history on the "Full Portuguese Camino" tour, a 32-day self-guided pilgrimage from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela. This extensive walking tour spans iconic cities and serene countryside, including Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, and Padrón, following the route taken by St James’ body to its final resting place. Each day’s gentle terrain reveals Roman ruins, Templar castles, and sweeping valley views, culminating at the famed cathedral in Santiago. The unique selling point: this tour package offers the most spiritually rich and visually diverse Camino experience, perfect for travelers seeking a profound, month-long journey through Portugal and Spain’s cultural heartlands.

day 1Arrive Lisbon

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and one of the world’s oldest cities: known as Olispio by the Romans, settled by the Visigoths and the Arabs before becoming the base for the “Discoveries" – Columbus, Magellan and Vasco de Gama all set sail from here. An earthquake in 1755 destroyed many buildings and dramatically brought an end to this powerful empire. The UNESCO-listed monastery in Belem still stands and is definitely worth a visit, as is the Alfama district for ‘fado’ (music) – or simply enjoy a stroll through the streets of this beautiful city. You will find the first waymark of your Portuguese Camino at the Cathedral.

Overall I was really pleased with my trip. We had a few minor issues - our bags not being delivered to our hotel on our first walking day, the taxi driver of one of our scheduled transfers wanted to change the time of our morning transfer to a later time which did not suit us, and one of the hotels we stayed in I would not recommend.

Very helpful when we were faced with fires. Transported out of danger. Some kms per day were underestimated.

They did everything they promised, but it is what they did above & beyond that stands them apart. We were caught in the fires in Portugal & they arranged transport to get us out of danger, changed hotel bookings to accommodate the new circumstances & made us feel very safe. We were more than impressed with the level of communication & service. I won't be looking anywhere else when I book my next trip.

Best of the Portuguese Camino Guided Walk trip - alternative tour available

Best of the Portuguese Camino Guided Walk

A guided walk along the best sections of the Portuguese Way from Lisbon to Santiago. For many pilgrims, the Portuguese Way is more spiritually connected to the Camino than any other way. The Camino is all about the apostle St James, and Portugal, it is said, is where he was known to have first preached. It is also believed that his final journey to Santiago was via Portugal when his bones were brought back from Jerusalem following his beheading. The Portuguese Way, which is second only to the Camino Francés in popularity with modern day walkers and pilgrims, extends from the capital, Lisbon, across the border to Santiago, and this guided walk takes in the most popular, beautiful and intriguing sections between these two classic European cities. You'll visit the must-see Portuguese cities of Coimbra and Porto, enjoying guided walks and port tastings, and from Porto you'll experience the best of the Central Way, which passes inland through historic towns and countryside, and the Coastal Way, which traces the Atlantic shoreline before heading inland. Crossing into Spain by ferry, we'll continue along the Atlantic coast and another section of the Camino, and visit a manor house near Pontevedra before arriving in the famed cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela.
