Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
verified
Journey this mostly coastal walk to Santiago de Compostela – a lesser-known trail with fewer pilgrims along the way.
verified
Feast on some of the best Spanish seafood and Albarino wine in Arcade, on a substantial lunch stop on the way to Pontevedra.
verified
Trek a fair distance each day, but be able to relax along the way, with a dedicated rest day in Pontevedra.
verified
Take a load off – literally! Your luggage will be transferred between your accommodation each day, meaning you’ll only have to carry a day pack, and your luggage will be waiting at your hotel.
verified
Visit one of the local wineries in the region of Caldas de Rei and have the opportunity to soak in the renowned hot springs in the area.
Is this trip right for you?
verified
This is a walking trip. You need to be in good health to complete the walks. Please ensure you bring sturdy walking shoes and comfortable clothes. To make the most of the trip, it's best if you have at least a moderate level of fitness.
verified
There are sections on the walk where it will not be possible to call in a taxi or any other transport.
verified
Your main luggage will be transported between stops, but you will still carry a daypack with the essentials, such as water, snacks, a raincoat and so on.
verified
The diversity of the seasons here makes for incredible scenery, but the weather in this region can be unpredictable. It’s best to wear layers at all times of the year in case conditions change during the day.
verified
While this route is called Portuguese Camino, most of the walking is done on the Spanish territory.
verified
We recommend packing light and smart for this trip as you'll be required to carry your own luggage at times, which can include going up and down multiple flights of stairs, and across cobblestones.
Itinerary
Embrace the challenge and fulfillment of this coastal Camino
Challenge yourself to a journey from pretty Porto to the historic Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on a 10-day alternative coastal Camino trail. This Portuguese Camino trail passes through coastal Baiona, Vigo and Redondela, and joins the pilgrim route onwards to Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padron, finishing in Santiago de Compostela. You’ll embark on a journey through the countryside in mostly north-western Spain, retracing the ‘Way of Saint James’, trekking past the Bay of Vigo and visiting old churches and quaint villages. As one of the three most important Christian pilgrimages, you’ll take part in a powerful journey through some idyllic landscapes and beautiful towns.

This journey tested and inspired me. Our guide, Oswaldo, was the heart of it all- energetic, caring, and endlessly supportive. His leadership made our Camino not just a walk, but a shared pilgrimage to remember. We began as strangers and ended before the cathedral as friends.

This really is an exceptional trip and I would highly recommend it. It was my first time travelling with intrepid (or any travel company) and every step of the way had been curated meticulously to really showcase Galicia at its best - the hotels, the food, the additional experiences. Each days walking was manageable for anyone of average fitness - typically stopping for mid morning coffee break, lunch and then maybe a refreshment on the home straight, before arriving at the destination in the mid-late afternoon with plenty of time to rest before dinner with the group in the evening. Our tour leader, Oswaldo, has incredible enthusiasm for both Galicia and the Camino. He has a special talent at gelling the group together (within a couple of days it felt we had known each other for months). He went above and beyond - acting not only as a tour guide, but a historian, horticulturalist and entertainer… and more! His energy is infectious, and he invests time getting to know everyone along “the way”. He really is the best in the business!

The trip is as described on the tin. Efficiently organised, the miles walked each day is manageable. The group size is small, giving the opportunity to get to know the rest of the group. The coastal route is beautiful and the food was delicious and healthy. I am already planning the next trip for 2026.

The Portuguese Camino de Santiago is a wonderful mental and physical escape from the day to day and offered personal reflection along the way. The pilgrims, both our group and pilgrims along the way were very supportive, Buen Camino! Our guide Carlota is a spitfire, spirited and so enthusiastic about the individual private learnings and the very intimate meaning that can come with the pilgrimage. I highly recommend this trip for those looking for a spiritual experience and connections with humanity.

A recent Portuguese Camino pilgrimage with Intrepid was a fantastic experience! They took care of transporting the luggage, booking all the hotels and arranging places to stop along the route as well as dinner spots. Carlota, our guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, encouraging and SO fun!
