Portugal / Spain

Camino Portugués

A beautiful route from Porto to Santiago offering two main variants: the Central Route (historic inland towns) and the Coastal Route (stunning Atlantic scenery). The two routes merge in Redondela for the final stretch to Santiago.

Chemin du Puy (Via Podiensis)

France's most iconic pilgrimage route, stretching from the volcanic highlands of Le Puy-en-Velay across Auvergne, the Aubrac plateau, the Lot valley and Gascony to the foot of the Pyrenees. One of the most beautiful long-distance walks in Europe, passing through Conques, Figeac, Cahors, and Moissac.

Camino del Norte

The Northern Way follows Spain's dramatic northern coast from the Basque Country through Cantabria and Asturias into Galicia. More challenging and less crowded than the Francés, it rewards pilgrims with stunning coastal scenery, world-class pintxos, and authentic culture.

Camino Primitivo

The Original Way — the first ever Camino route taken by King Alfonso II in 830 AD. Wild, mountainous, and deeply spiritual. The first half crosses steep Asturian mountains (including the legendary Hospitales variant), then joins the Camino Francés at Melide.

Camino Finisterre

The continuation beyond Santiago to the 'end of the world' on the Atlantic coast. Pilgrims traditionally walk to Cape Finisterre to burn their boots and watch the sunset. Often extended to include the sacred town of Muxía. Well-marked with yellow arrows, with albergues throughout.

Santiago de Compostela

Spain

Vía de la Plata

Spain's longest and most solitary Camino, following the ancient Roman Silver Road from Seville through Extremadura, Castile and Galicia. Passes through Roman Mérida, medieval Cáceres, university Salamanca, and Zamora before joining the Sanabrés Way to Santiago. Avoid summer — heat can be extreme in Andalusia and Extremadura.

Camino Espiritual

The Spiritual Variant of the Camino Portugués — a unique 3-day detour from Pontevedra featuring the famous boat ride ('Traslatio') across the Arousa estuary, following the legendary route of St. James's remains. Quieter than the central route with stunning coastal and watermill scenery.

Camino Inglés

The shortest certified Camino route to earn a Compostela. Originally used by pilgrims arriving by sea from England, Ireland and Scandinavia. The route passes through the medieval town of Pontedeume, Betanzos, and the highland village of Hospital de Bruma before descending to Santiago.

Camino de Invierno

The Winter Way — a quieter southern alternative to the final stretch of the Camino Francés, created to avoid the snow-prone O Cebreiro pass. Follows the Sil River canyon through the stunning Ribeira Sacra wine region, passing Monforte de Lemos and the Galician interior before reaching Santiago.
