Camino Portugués – Coastal route

By HorizonGuides
  • Distance: 270 km
  • Duration: 14 days
  • Start/end point: Porto (Portugal) / Santiago (Spain)
  • Difficulty: Moderate

The coastal version of the Camino Portugués is a shorter and quieter version of the traditional Camino Portugués route.

This version starts further north at Porto and hugs the Portuguese and Spanish coastlines as it meanders towards Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain.

As with the Camino Portugués main route you’ll get your fair share of historical towns and incredible Portuguese cuisine, while enjoying spellbinding coastal views and traditional fishing villages in this lesser-visited corner of Portugal.

Europe is a famously popular and, in places, crowded travel destination. Escaping the bustle on a walking holiday in Europe's more-remote corners is a good way to escape the day trippers, tour buses and cruise ships that plague the continent’s busier hotspots.

Walking holidays in Spain are dominated by the hugely popular and, in all honesty, often overly-busy Camino de Santiago (commonly just the Camino, or Way of St James in English). This world-famous pilgrimage route that, since the eighth century, has led devotees of St James to his namesake city, Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, today draws hikers in their hundreds of thousands.

Most hiking routes in the Barcelona region can be walked all year round, but perhaps my favourite months are spring, early summer and autumn. The Montseny mountains are cooler than on the coast and you can enjoy some trails even on hot summer days.
