The Portuguese Way to Santiago
6 days walking / 7 nights
From Tui to Santiago | 120 km / 74 miles
The Jacobean pilgrimage from Portugal intensifies after the independence of this country in the mid-twelfth century, though presumably already existed in the early Middle Ages. Since then the Jacobean cult and pilgrimage to Compostela considered one of the hallmarks of European culture, in Lusitanian lands, had a major projection. The motivations for that pilgrimage were religious. But thanks to this dense and secular flow of people who populated the roads of Santiago, fertile channels of cultural, economic and thought exchange were also established between Portugal and Galicia.
This route follows the Atlantic shore and the beautiful landscapes of Rias Baixas.
