We will explore Porto, Portugal in the morning before being transported to Tui, Spain!


"Take a walk through the town’s picturesque streets, and as you approach the Plaza de San Fernando the silhouette of the west-facing facade of the 12th Century cathedral will provide you with a lasting memory." 

Day 3: The hike begins!

Our first day on the Camino trail

We will begin the day with grounding and gentle yoga before stepping onto the Camino trail.  We will hike from Tui to O Porrino (10.67 miles)


"From the long-standing port of Tui, the Camino winds its way up to the old town, following the so-called Camino da Barca. Then, through the Tunel das Monxas, the Camino enters a very steep section and leads us to the historic bridge of San Telmo. From there, travelling over less strenuous terrain, we come to the town of O Porrino."

Day 4: Redondela

O Porrino to Redondela

Day 2 of hiking on the Camino!  Today we will hike from O Porrino to Redondela (10.14 miles)


"The terrain becomes easier to navigate as we cross the Louro Valley. Keeping the valley to the east, after a gentle climb you arrive at the chapel of Santiaguino de Antas; a pleasant place to take a rest. We now enter a wide expanse of woodland. Surrounded by pine trees, the Camino starts its descent to Redondela."

Day 5: Pontevedra

Redondela to Pontevedra

Day 3 of hiking and we are really getting our rhythm down. :)  Today we hike from Redondela to Pontevedra (12.22 miles)


"Leaving Redondela, which is known as the Village of Viaducts due to the two 19th Century railroad viaducts in the town, you will proceed to the village of Arcade. From here you cross a Romanesque bridge where Napoleon was defeated by the Spanish during the War of Independence. Arriving into Pontevedra you will head through the narrow streets before reaching the 13th Century Church of Santa Maria. Of interest to pilgrims is the Capela da Peregrina which, although it appears round, is actually in the shape of a scallop shell."

Day 6: Caldas de Reis

Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis

It's a longer hiking day but we've got this!!  Our hike from Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis will be 13.18 miles. 


"Passing chestnut groves, the Camino leaves Pontevedra and runs parallel to the railway for a while. After passing through the hamlet of Ponte Cabras, we encounter the rectory of Santa Maria de Alba, tucked away among pine and eucalyptus trees. Emerging from the dense woods of Lombo da Maceira, you’ll see a statue of St James, his staff pointing the way to proceed. Passing the lovely village of Tibo, with its fountain, public washing place and stone cross, brings us to Caldas de Reis." 

Day 7: Padron

Caldas de Reis to Padron

Day 5 of hiking as we continue to journey along the Camino trail.  We will hike 11.61 miles to get from Caldas de Reis to Padron.


"Exiting the town, we take a bridge over the River Umia that leads us to a fountain of hot spring water that has lent the town its name since Roman times. Entering the woods once more, the Camino makes its way gently uphill to the hamlet of Santa Marina. Going downhill, we cross the river Fontenlo. Finally, we catch up again with the river as we arrive in Padron. Padron is famous for being the first land sighted by the ship bearing the body of St James."

Day 8: Santiago!

Padron to Santiago de Compostela

Today's hike will be over 15 miles but you've got this!!  Only pilgrims that hike 100km or more receive the Compostela certificate and you are one of them!


"The Camino passes through many small hamlets before arriving at the Baroque sanctuary of A Esclavitude. On a hilltop to the left stands the mysterious ruins of the hillfort Castro Lupario. A few kilometres later, we come to the oldest wayside crossing in Galicia. As we near Agro dos Monteiros, it’s now possible to see the spires of the cathedral in Santiago. Finally, the Camino passes by the ruins of a castle known as A Rocha Vella, before entering the city of the Apostle." 

Day 9: Rest and Relax
