This time we traveled to Porto and walked the Camino Portuguese.
We started by walking a part of the Senda Litoral route up to Vila do Conde where we then crossed over to Rubiaes and continued on the Inland route, Camino Central, to Valenca and finally reached Santiago de Compostela.

We flew via Lisbon, took a train to Porto where we then started our hike.

This is part one of two where we hiked from Porto in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The Camino Portuguese has several variants:
Camino Central, Camino Costal and Senda Litoral route and then there is also a spiritual variant of the camino, which we did not walk this time.

In total we walked around 260 kilometers in 13 days.

Part 1 shows the first 7 days of hiking in Portugal.
Part 2 shows the trail from Tui in Spain to Santiago de Compostela.

You need to walk the last 100 kilometers to be able to pick up a Compostela after your hike and Tui is therefore a popular starting point as it is about 116 km from Tui to hike to Santiago de Compostela.

If you are looking for a Camino that you can walk for around 8-10 days and up, I think this Camino is a great alternative to parts of the Camino Frances, Camino de Santiago, and other alternatives that has Santiago de Compostela as a goal.

Portugal is a fantastic country with pleasant nature, nice people, good food and drink and wonderful hiking weather.

I can warmly recommend this route!
