Hiking The Camino Portuguese | Week 1 Porto - Valenca

The Camino Portuguese… Week1

This is our first Camino and now our longest hiking distance to date.

The Journey starts in Porto Portugal, covering 280k & finishes in Santiago Spain.

There are many Camino’s, with lots of different starting points and all at varying lengths. However each Camino is heading to the same destination- Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.

As some of you may know we love travelling & hiking. The Camino Frances has been on our wish list for a long time now but due to the length 780k!! and the time off work needed to complete this we decided to do the Camino Portuguese first.
(It would also be a test to see if we would make it & like it😊)

Our Camino was over 14days starting in September 2023 with a combination of coastal and inland walking.
12 days of hiking, 1 rest day in the middle & 1 extra day at the end in Santiago to explore the beautiful city.

The weather was gloriously amazing. Well except for one brutally windy coastal day (Checkout Day 2!)

The Camino Portuguese has some stunning scenery along the coast & inland we past through many beautiful villages. However it wasn't all easy walking, there were also a few tough long days where you thought they would never end.

It certainly stretched us but we absolutely loved it so much we now are planning to do the Camino Frances next year (Stay Tuned👀)
