In these pages we will share diverse information about routes, stages, accommodation and some other services that all pilgrims need to organize and make the Ways of Santiago.
This information gathered here is the result of much research carried out in the organization and preparation of our Paths and of all those who entrust their Path to us.
The stages presented are based on our experience of not doing more than +/-20 km s/day, although we have marked all the locations where accommodation is available.
All the accommodation indicated comply with the premise of being on the Camino or very close, and having online presence, either through website or social networks, so that it is easier to access contacts and some useful information.
The accommodation and services we recommend, we have already used them directly or indirectly and the "Our rating" is based on several factors such as location, facilities, services provided, reception and quality/price ratio. This evaluation shall be regularly updated.

The Portuguese Central Way is the 2nd in the choice of pilgrims from all over the world. The complete route starts in Lisbon and has 634.1 Km.
The most commonly used courses begin in Porto or in Valença-Tui.
This sea front path, which departs from Oporto and extends off the north coast of Portugal due to its coastal location, gained relevance during the Modern Age and, especially, since the 18th century, being used by coastal areas and by those who landed in the maritime ports.
The Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese Way is a route that derives in Pontevedra from the Portuguese Central Way and ends in Pontecesures, where it resumes the same Path.
From this route we highlight Ruta da Piedra y del Auga, and Traslatio from Arousa to Pontecesures.
Although the Way ends in the city of Santiago, the pilgrimage does not end in Compostela. Since ancient times, all the peoples and travelers who have approached this western corner of Europe have felt the desire to follow the path of the sun, to reach the end of the earth to contemplate the immensity of the infinite and to see the sun penetrating the waters of the sea.
