CAMINO DE SANTIAGO: THE SCENIC PORTUGUESE ROUTE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tour: 5380

11 Day Tour from Porto to Porto
Rediscover the wonders of nature and the stillness of the mind on this scenic
blend of the Portuguese and the Spiritual routes of the Camino de Santiago. The
walk will cover a total of approximately 75 miles. Take time to reflect,
contemplate, meditate, and give this challenge the meaning you prefer, whether
spiritual, religious, physical, or just an opportunity to meet like-minded
people. After landing in Porto, start your journey by walking across the
Portuguese-Spanish border on the bridge over the Minho river. Drive to the
coastal town of Baiona and walk the Portuguese Way skirting the Atlantic Ocean
to Pontevedra. From there, join the Spiritual Variant towards the Ulla River in
Cambados and experience a boat cruise to Padrón.

The Spiritual Variant is the name given to the route that joins the Camino
Portugues, both the Coastal and Central route, with the Traslatio (or Transfer)
route. It ends in Santiago de Compostela following the route taken by the
remains of the Apostle James, from Jerusalem to Iria Flavia, near Padrón.
Discover spectacular landscapes and seascapes, and seize the opportunity to
discover historical places, and enjoy the authentic cuisine of the Galician
region.

Evening Mass will be available in most towns for those who wish to attend. In
Santiago de Compostela you can attend Pilgrim Mass. You will receive the
Compostela Certificate upon completion of the entire route on foot.
Cosmos offers Small-Group Discoveries on select faith-based dates. A Small-Group
Discovery is limited to an average of just 24 guests per departure. There’s
always room to roam with extra space between you and other travelers—while still
getting up close and personal to the experiences you’ve been dreaming of.
Small-Group Discoveries include all the features of a traditional Cosmos
escorted tour, complete with expert Tour Director, Driver, and Local Guides who
ensure that your health and safety is our top priority. A Small-Group Discovery
trip is the perfectly sized tour—without the crowds.

     to Valença do Minho to walk a section of the Camino de Santiago into Spain
     across the Minho river towards Tui. Rejoin the coach to Baiona, on the
     Atlantic coast. Fun fact: Baiona was the first town in Europe to receive
     news of America’s discovery in 1493. We recommend touring the medieval
     fortress on the Monterreal peninsula, visiting the replica of Columbus’
     ship la Pinta and discovering this beautiful beachside town.

     the coast across the Rías Baixas through the beach town of Nigrán. Walk
     along long pristine beaches and admire the magnificent Cíes Islands from a

     through woodlands, reach Redondela. Our driver will take you to the hotel
     in the centre of Pontevedra, where you will spend the next two nights. You

     uphill by the coast with stunnning views over the Vigo Bay and across the
     infamous Ponte Sampaio bridge, where Napoleon’s Army suffered one of the
     greatest defeats during the War of Independence. Continue then mostly
     downhill, through peaceful oak forests and along the river to the center of
     Pontevedra, the city founded by the Romans and dedicated to the Virgen
     Peregrina (the Pilgrim Virgin). Your Mass option tonight is at Saint
     Francisco Convent. Take advantage of the vast choice of restaurants to
     immerse yourself in the local culinary culture.

     follows St. James’ final journey. Legend says that a stone vessel carried
     the Apostle’s remains from Jaffa in Israel to Padrón along the River Ulla
     some 2000 years ago. Today, you will walk past the Monastery of San Juan de
     Poio and the beautiful town of Combarro, famous for its many horreos
     (traditional granaries on pillars). After Combarro, continue another two
     miles along the coast to reach the hotel.

     Armenteira, founded by the knight Ero in 1168. Follow the relaxing “Ruta da
     Pedra e da Agua”(the rock and water route), a forest path next to a water
     stream with over 30 medieval water mills. The destination today is
     Cambados, considered to be the capital of Albariño, one of the best white
     wines in the world. Mass is available at the impressive Santa Mariña Dozo

     remains of St. James. See the remains of the Catoira towers, which used to
     protect Santiago de Compostela from Viking attacks. Disembark on the
     outskirts of Padrón, famous for its “pimientos,” small, mild green peppers,
     usually served fried and salted.
     
     Only a few more miles to Santiago de Compostela! Enjoy a celebratory dinner
     upon completing your Camino de Santiago, served in a local restaurant in

TRAVELER NOTES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your walking and spiritual experience is best enjoyed in small groups, and
therefore the group size is limited to a maximum of 20 participants per
departure, plus, of course, your Tour Director who will assist along the way.
Hiking is much easier without luggage; one piece of luggage per person, not
exceeding 20 kg/44 lbs, will be transferred during your walk, from the lobby of
your overnight hotel to the next overnight accommodation.

A pleasant catamaran cruise, as well as transportation by coach from Porto to
Baiona and from Santiago de Compostela to Porto, allowing for some additional
exciting visits, are all taken care of.

Occasionally, transfers by minivan will be provided when accommodation is not
directly at the end of a stage.
