Description
Portuguese Way by bike from Porto
From now on, you will be a bike-pilgrim or as we say "bicigrino". That's because the Camino de Santiago can be traveled not only on foot but also by bike. Cycling is a wonderful alternative that allows you to cover longer stages without giving up enjoying the views and the landscapes.
This route starts in Porto, enters Galicia through the town of Tui, and joins the Coastal Portuguese Way in Redondela. Many historical town centers will welcome you, such as those in Ponte de Lima or Pontevedra.
You will enjoy mountain landscapes as well as the Vigo and Pontevedra sea lochs and the vineyards of the region, where Albariño wine is produced.
If your goal is to obtain the Compostela (a certificate that certifies the pilgrimage), you have chosen the right option, as this route covers 250km. Remember that one of the requirements to be granted the Compostela is to cover at least 200km by bike.
