The Town

Discover Oporto

Porto, the second city of Portugal, is the most popular starting point for pilgrims who walk the Portuguese Way. Its unparalleled beauty, with the historic Ribeira quarter declared a World Heritage Site, and its vibrant atmosphere, make it an unforgettable beginning to a pilgrimage. The path usually starts at the Sé do Porto (Cathedral), from where stunning views of the Douro River and its iconic bridges, such as Don Luis I Bridge, can be seen. Before embarking on the journey, pilgrims can explore the world-famous wine cellars of Porto in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river. Porto is both the starting point for the Central Portuguese Way (interior) and the Coastal Portuguese Way, offering two distinct experiences. The city is perfectly equipped with hostels and all necessary services. Starting the Camino de Santiago in Porto is to immerse oneself in a city of decadent and captivating beauty, a perfect precursor to the landscapes and hospitality that await on the route to Galicia.
