Discover Lisboa

Lisbon, the charismatic capital of Portugal, stands as the majestic starting point of the Central Portuguese Way, the longest Jacobean route from Lusitanian lands. Starting a pilgrimage here is to immerse oneself in a city of light, history, and culture before embarking on the journey to Santiago. The pilgrim can obtain their credential at the Patriarchal Cathedral (Cathedral) and begin walking from the heart of one of Europe's oldest capitals. Before departing, it is essential to explore its charming neighborhoods, such as Alfama, with its labyrinthine streets and the sound of fado, or Belém, with its imposing Jerónimos Monastery and Tower of Belém, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The vibrant atmosphere, its yellow trams, and exquisite cuisine, including pastéis de nata as a symbol, offer a memorable farewell. Starting from Lisbon on the Camino de Santiago is to begin an adventure of over 600 kilometers that traverses Portugal from south to north, an experience that combines the energy of a great metropolis with the promise of an unforgettable spiritual journey.
