Walk Through the Living History of the Camino

One Camino, Two Gateways: Porto and Tui

From your first steps in Porto to your arrival at the Cathedral of Santiago, the Camino Portugués Central connects you with centuries of faith, sacred architecture and the agricultural landscapes that define the soul of inland Portugal and Galicia.

With excellent infrastructure and a strong cultural identity, it’s ideal for both first-time pilgrims and experienced walkers. The most traditional and complete route from Portugal.
