The Atlantic Way to Santiago

Riding on the most interesting and blue way to Santiago.

This program links the city of Porto to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. The route will take you through the beautiful coastlines of both northern Portugal and Galicia. Discover and hopefully admire the Portuguese way of pilgrimage, away from the crowds, allowing you to have more peace and space to get in touch with yourself. Follow the Atlantic Ocean and its different sceneries, exploring stunning coastal views and crossing several small towns rich in culture and full of the Camino spirit. Churches, monuments, and old crosses will tell the history of this less trodden way until you arrive at Obradoiro Square, which rests in front of the Saint James Cathedral, right in the heart of Santiago de Compostela.
