Highlights
Walk the last 100 km of the Portuguese Coastal Way on this self-guided tour in Spain
One of the best Caminos is the Portuguese Coastal Way. This is a wonderful one week walking holiday, taking in great views, wonderful culture and the charm of a walk on the Camino.
This self-guided walking tour starts at the coastal town of Baiona and you walk to the historic city of Santiago de Compostela. You’ll have 6 rewarding days walking the Atlantic Coast as you walk the last 100 km of the Portuguese Coastal Way.
Beginning in Baiona you’ll follow the newly recognized Camino Portugués de la Costa (Portuguese Coastal Way) north alongside the Atlantic Ocean until it merges with the traditional Portuguese Camino at Redondela. Marvel at the sweeping vistas of the sparkling Atlantic this route provides, pick a stretch of beach to lie out on and go for a swim, and look out to the not-too-distant Cíes Islands.
Excellent food and drink, picturesque views, and bucolic nature combine with historically significant attractions and sites on this last leg of the Portuguese Coastal Way. Book your spot on the tour today!
Last 100km of Portuguese Coastal Way Trek Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Baiona, Collect your Pilgrim Passport
Make your own way to Baiona, a coastal town just north of the Portuguese/Spanish border. Settle into your accommodation before getting in a little sight-seeing around town and picking up your Pilgrim Passport.
The last 100 km of the Portuguese Coastal Way begins in this small town, where the first news of the discovery of America was received. Head to the Museo de la Carabela Pinta to see the first ship that arrived from the new continent.

Here you can discover the historical events that took place as well as cross the ancient Roman bridge over the Verdugo River.
Ending in Pontevedra, a beautiful town famous for its historical centre and squares made of stone, enjoy a quiet evening relaxing weary muscles with a glass or two of wine from a restaurant terrace.

What travellers say
Stephen L.
I’ve been using 10Adventures route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10Adventures made that happen.
Melinda S.
I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!
Mikael V.
My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!
Alexandra D.
Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!
Eric S.
Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.
Valeria R.
I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!
Isabella N.
I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
