Description

Bono Iacobus - Portugese Way

For centuries, the Portuguese people have begun their pilgrimage from their main cities (Lisbon, Prague, Braga or Coimbra) to Santiago de Compostela: this is how the Portuguese Way originated

This pilgrimage route re-emerged at the end of the 20th century, when it was correctly marked with the yellow arrow and adapted to pilgrims. It is currently the second most chosen route: an average of 75,000 people enjoy this route every year.

Bordering the Rías de Vigo and Pontevedra, this route combines mountains and sea and passes by landscapes of breathtaking beauty. You will live a truly authentic experience, ended each day with a warm welcome in the rural tourism houses.
