Camino Portugues - Portugal & Spain

The Camino Portuges is an approximately 200-mile route from Porto, Portugal, to the holy city of Camino de Santiago, Spain, which houses the remains of St. James, one of the twelve apostles. It is reminiscent of the more widely known Camino de Santiago through northern Spain, but is much less heavily traveled. The trail passes through beautiful rural countryside steeped in history, along with the colorful towns of Porto, Barcelos, Tui, Pontevedra, and Padron.

Ponte de Lima, one of the lovely medieval towns along the Camino Portugues, has an especially long bridge with many arches: it was built in the 14th century on Roman foundations.
