Your adventure starts in Porto, one of Portugal’s most beautiful cities. A member of our team will meet you at your hotel to provide a warm welcome, introduce you to your bikes, and hand over all necessary travel materials. Take some time to explore Porto’s lively streets and riverfront before your journey begins. From the start, you'll see fellow travelers setting out on their own pilgrimages, each with their own story to share

Leaving Porto, you’ll cycle through a mix of cobbled streets, country lanes, and scenic trails, passing through charming villages and lush green landscapes. The route closely follows the true Camino, meaning you’ll encounter many pilgrims along the way. Along the way, you’ll cross historic Romanesque bridges and arrive in Barcelos, a medieval town known for its legendary "galo" (rooster), Portugal's best known symbol. Take time to wander its medieval quarter and soak in the atmosphere, meeting like-minded travelers sharing this incredible path.

If it’s a Thursday, you’re in luck—it’s market day in Barcelos! Leaving town, the landscape becomes even more peaceful, with small villages and traditional farms lining your route. The beauty of traveling by bike is that you can move at your own pace—fast enough to cover ground, yet slow enough to experience every area you'll ride through. Stop at the 12th-century Ponte das Tábuas, a perfect rest spot before pedaling through vineyards, forests, and orchards. As you approach Ponte de Lima, the oldest village in Portugal, enjoy breathtaking views of surrounding mountain peaks and chat with fellow cyclists and pilgrims on the way.

Today’s ride takes you through the heart of the countryside, with ancient stone bridges, sleepy hamlets, and even a few waterfalls along the way. You’ll meet pilgrims from all walks of life, some walking for weeks, others just beginning their journey. A challenging mountain climb awaits, but the views make every effort worth it. You’ll pass through Rubiães, home to a Romanesque church and historical landmarks, before descending into Valença, a fortress town marking your last night in Portugal.

Tchau Portugal, hola Spain! Crossing the River Minho into Spain, you’ll arrive in Tui, where its impressive cathedral greets you. As you cycle onward, you’ll continue to encounter fellow Camino travelers, sharing stories and encouragement. After passing through O Porriño, the journey leads you into peaceful countryside and the pine-scented Chan das Pipas forest. From Redondela, join the famed Central Camino route, cycling through Arcade—famous for its oysters—before reaching the lively squares of Pontevedra, perfect for an evening of tapas and wine, where you'll meet even more travelers celebrating their progress.

Pedal through rolling countryside and shaded forests towards Caldas de Reis, where a stop at its famous thermal springs is a must. Here, you might find fellow pilgrims resting their weary feet, taking in the same tradition that has soothed travelers for centuries. From here, continue through charming villages and the peaceful Valga forest before reaching Padrón, a town deeply tied to St. James' story. The mix of locals, pilgrims, and cyclists makes for a truly vibrant and unforgettable atmosphere.

Your final day of cycling is short but full of anticipation. Ride through serene countryside and charming hamlets before glimpsing the towers of Santiago’s cathedral from Milladoiro. Along the way, conversations with fellow pilgrims will remind you of the collective spirit of this journey. After one last climb, roll into the heart of Santiago de Compostela, where your journey reaches its grand finale at the iconic cathedral—an unforgettable moment of achievement, shared with so many others who have followed the same path.

After breakfast, take one last stroll through Santiago’s historic old town before continuing on your journey—whether homeward or onward to new adventures. If you have time, savor a final café con leche in the main square, reflecting on the unforgettable encounters and the sense of camaraderie that made this journey so unique.
