Trip Overview

This pilgrimage is arranged in four parts: Lisbon and Fatima (two nights), the Camino (five days walking and five nights), Santiago de Compostela (two nights) and Porto (one night).

Catholic Portugal

Upon arrival in Lisbon we’ll briefly visit the Portuguese capital before departing for Fátima where we will spend two nights. In Fátima we will be immersed in the serene beauty and mystery of Our Lady’s apparitions, all the while preparing our hearts and souls for the Camino.

The Caminho Português

From Fátima we’ll depart for Vigo, Spain. On the way there we will stop at the sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, one of Portugal’s most beautiful and sacred pilgrimage sites. After one night in Vigo our Camino begins.

Santiago de Compostela

After five days of walking nearly 100 kilometers along the Camino we will arrive in Santiago de Compostela, the resting place of Saint James the Greater. Here we will spend two nights exploring this beautiful city.
