Itinerary

egin the journey from Porto’s Cathedral to Obradoiro square and ride through the municipality of Vila do Conde. From there we will travel to Barcelos, territory linked to the legend of the famous rooster, through lined forest trails. Your accommodation in Barcelos will be expecting you.

onte de Lima, land of rural houses and old bridges. The land is well known for being one of the oldest villages in Portugal, whose history is imbued with its heritage, environment and tradition. Nevertheless, it is also recognized for being a place of passage and pilgrimage to Santiago Compostela, current concentration of religious tourism.

Crossing Labruja, and watching the famous Dead Man’s Cross, you will be following a green pathway to Minho. Between Portugal and Galicia, Valença contains good road and rail access. Ports and airports are less than an hour away, located in major cities such as Porto, Braga and Vigo. Valença is a historical city and a symbol of cross border relations between Portugal and Spain. Today it is a multicultural space where the imposing Square Fort is one of the largest and best preserved military structures of Europe.

Combining urban and pedestrian environments, Pontevedra's squares are lined with buildings of classical and popular architecture guild names, acting as one of the most beautiful and best preserved historic areas of Galicia. In recent times it became a pedestrian city for long walks. Relax in the green parks and enjoy a lid, a coffee or a drink at any of its terraces. We will also cross Arcade, land of the delicious oysters.

The mid point of this day will be the pre-Roman city, Caldas de Reis, a province which belongs to Pontevedra. Padrón, the day's destination, is a region that belongs to the province of Coruña. This cozy village leads to Santiago, where, according to tradition, the Apostle Santiago preached in life, and where he returned again, after his martyrdom, on a stone ship that docked at "Pedrón" – a stone, hence the origin of the name, kept under the altar of the church of Santiago.

You will be met by Santiago de Compostela as your final destination, one of the ultimate pilgrimage cores in Western Europe. Like Rome and Jerusalem, the city of Santiago de Compostela presents us an unique religious beacon for tourists who find in this cycling journey an act of faith and inner-self. Reach the Square of Obradoiro, where you will witness the majestic baroque cathedral where the remains of the apostle are located.
