Monte Santiaguino where St James first preached in Iberia
Padron where the boat carrying St James mortal remains became shipwrecked
Arriving into Santiago and experiencing the satisfaction of reaching the end of the ‘Camino'
Enjoying a quieter pilgrimage route, following in the footsteps of Celtic, Roman and Christian wayfarers
Exploring the magnificent city of Santiago with its impressive architecture and cathedrals

Starting and ending in Santiago De Compostela, the tour "Portuguese Camino - Tui To Santiago" is a self-guided walking tour that takes 8 days. You will travel through Santiago De Compostela, Caldas De Reis, Padrón and 4 other destinations in Spain. "The Portuguese Camino - Tui To Santiago" is a private tour which includes accommodation in hotels, meals and others.

Experience the humble beauty of the final stage of the Portuguese Camino from Tui to the cathedral in Santiago. Whilst the vast majority of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela follow the French route across northern Spain, a lesser known but equally impressive route approaches the cathedral from the south. This is the Portuguese pilgrim trail, which is considered to be the 'inspired' way. The sheer humble beauty of the paths and countryside provided many of its medieval walkers with inspiration for songs and verse. As the trail from Tui is more than 100km you will qualify for the Compostela certificate upon your arrival in Santiago. This is the last of four stages on our self-guided walking along the Portuguese Camino.
