The St. James' Way segment from Porto (Portugal) to Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain) is excellent for aspiring long distance walkers and those wanting to experience St. James' Way for the first time. A sequence of moderately easy hikes with daily distances from 15 to 25 km or less, the total distance from Porto to Santiago de Compostela is roughly 235 km, and should take no more than 10 to 12 days. The route passes through a peaceful landscape and you will meet a fascinating international crowd of pilgrims.

Don't forget to spend a few days in the enchanted city of Porto!
