Leaving Porto
Pilgrims traditionally begin at Porto Cathedral (Sé). The coastal route follows the Douro to the sea at Foz and continues to Matosinhos, then onto long wooden boardwalks along beaches and dunes.
Fishing towns and beaches
The route passes towns such as Vila do Conde and Póvoa de Varzim and later Esposende. Car assistance lets you walk the most scenic coastal sections and skip the busier urban edges.
Arriving in Viana
Viana do Castelo sits at the mouth of the Lima river, overlooked by the Basilica of Santa Luzia on its hilltop.
