The Portuguese Way (Camino Portugues) is a 620km long-distance route from Portugal's capital Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. This guide splits the route into 25 stages, with two coastal options, and takes in historic and religious sites and stunning scenery. With information on preparation, planning and accommodation.
A guidebook to walking the Camino Portugués pilgrimage route through Portugal, from Lisbon, Porto or Tui to Santiago de Compostela. Covering 620km (385 miles), this popular alternative to the Camino Francés – and the second most-travelled pilgrim route to Santiago – can be walked in around 1 month and is suitable for reasonably fit walkers.
The route is described south to north in 25 stages, each between 16 and 34km (10–21 miles) in length. The Central Camino, the Coastal Camino (between Porto and Redondela) and the Spiritual Variant (from Pontevedra to Padrón), plus link routes, are all described. Along the way the route passes historic and religious sites, including four UNESCO World Heritage areas: the Knights Templar Castle at Tomar, Portugal’s oldest university at Coimbra, and the old towns of Porto and Santiago de Compostela, where the pilgrimage culminates at the cathedral. Santiago has been a place of pilgrimage since 1211.
1:100,000 mapping plus larger-scale urban maps for key locations
Step-by-step route description with GPX files available to download
Advice on planning, preparation, pilgrim passports and equipment
Comprehensive information on facilities, food and pilgrim lodgings
Facilities tables showing availability of accommodation, food, supermarkets, ATMs and pharmacies

Originally from Melbourne, after graduating from university, Kat moved to Japan. Working as an adventure tour guide in Japan helped Kat develop her skills to seek out the local hotspots and also develop a love for hiking. ‘A wise man climbs Mt Fuji, a fool climbs it twice’ is a popular Japanese saying, so Kat climbed it 7 times. From Japan to Canada to London, she quit her office job in 2013 to walk the Camino de Santiago and has never looked back. She completed seven Caminos and walked over 10,000km in Spain, Portugal, England, Italy, Japan and America, including the 4240km Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Sadly Kat's life was cut short in early 2020. She is fondly remembered for her meticulous work, inspiration and energy.
