Your Day-by-Day Itinerary
Every detail of your Camino journey, from first steps to final farewell.
Arrival at Porto Airport (OPO) on Flight TS 764 at 08:00. You will be met in the arrivals hall by André and Julia, who will assist with your private transfer to your hotel in Oia. This first day is intentionally unstructured. Time to recover from travel, settle in, and take in the ocean views.
A gentle introduction to the Camino, following the Atlantic coastline with open sea views and relaxed terrain.
Today’s walk continues along the coastline before gradually entering Vigo, Galicia’s largest coastal city. The route offers a mix of seaside promenades and elevated viewpoints.
A dedicated experience day. A private boat excursion takes you to the Cíes Islands, one of Galicia’s most pristine natural environments. A full day to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the beaches.
Introducing the Senda da Auga, offering panoramic views and a more natural, elevated walking experience as the route begins to transition into rural Galicia.
A varied and engaging stage with the opportunity to visit Soutomaior Castle, adding a cultural dimension to the day. Arrival in Pontevedra is relaxed, with time to enjoy the historic centre.

A Mass Intention will be held at the Santuario de la Virgen de la Peregrina in memory of Victoria, a beautiful church in the heart of Pontevedra, deeply connected to the Camino itself.

A full rest day focused on coastal exploration and relaxation. Destinations include San Vicente do Mar, A Lanzada Beach, and A Toxa Island, offering a different perspective of Galicia beyond the Camino.

A chance to explore Santiago, visit the Cathedral, and reflect on your journey together.
