You can expect restaurants to be open for lunch from approximately 1:30pm – 4pm. Remember that lunch is the main meal of the day in Spain.

Dinnertime in Spain is any time from 8pm onwards. Dinner in Spain is typically a lighter meal.

Must-try dishes

Cycling the Portuguese Camino is not only a spiritual and cultural journey but also a culinary adventure! Here’s a list of food and drinks to try along the way:

Porto

Carb-load before your Camino with a traditional francesinha: Porto’s famous sandwich made with layers of cured meats, steak, melted cheese, and a rich beer-based sauce. Our favourite place in Porto for a francesinha is Brasão Coliseu.

Portuguese cuisine is famous for its cod. One of the standout dishes is bacalhau à brás: a classic recipe of shredded cod with eggs, onions, and thin potato fries.

Citizens of Porto are nicknamed tripeiros because of their love of dishes made from tripe and offal! If you’re feeling brave, try tripas à moda do Porto: a traditional tripe stew with beans and sausage.

Although pastéis de nata are traditionally linked with the Belem district of Lisbon, these delicious custard tarts are enjoyed all over Portugal! Enjoy one or two with a cup of coffee for breakfast or a mid-morning snack.

Of course, you can’t leave Porto without trying some of the city’s famous port wine! Take a tour at one of the wineries in Vila Nova de Gaia, or ask for vinho do porto at one of the city’s many bars. Port wine is a sweet dessert wine, and the three main types are ruby, tawny and white.

Northern Portugal

As you continue up the coast, you’ll frequently come across beachfront restaurants and bars grilling fish fresh from the ocean. A popular option is sardinhas assadas: grilled sardines on a spit.

North of Porto, you’ll enter the vinho verde wine region. Pair this light, refreshing, slightly sparkling white wine with arroz do tamboril: a delicious dish made with rice and monkfish.

Crossing into Spain

The river Minho, which marks the border between Portugal and Spain, is famous for sável (shad), frequently served with rice.

As you cycle along the Spanish coast, you’ll spot artificial rockpools used to store captured crustaceans popular in local cuisine: bogavante (lobsters), buey de mar (brown crab) and centollo (spider crab).

Galicia is also very famous for pulpo a la gallega: “Galician-style” octopus, boiled and seasoned with paprika, olive oil, and sea salt.

Vigo and the Rías Baixas

In Vigo, the local speciality is chocos en su tinta: cuttlefish cooked in its own ink, served with rice or even in an empanada (similar to a Cornish pasty!). Just after Vigo, you’ll pass through the small town of Arcade, famous for ostras: oysters fresh from the Vigo estuary. 

North of Vigo and towards Pontevedra, you’ll enter the Rías Baixas wine region, where you can try albariño wine: a delicious light white popular all over Spain.

The small town of Padrón is of course famous for pimientos de padrón: small green peppers that are usually served grilled and with plenty of salt. But be warned: “algunos pican, otros no” (some are spicy, some are not!)

Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is a culinary gem! We highly recommend a tapas crawl to sample as much of the local cuisine as possible. The seafood is of course a highlight, although traditional Galician pork dishes such as raxó and zorza are also very popular. Round off your culinary adventure with a slice of tarta de Santiago: an almond cake dusted with icing sugar in the shape of the cross of St James.

Luggage

In order to ensure that there is enough space for everyone to travel comfortably in the van, we ask that you bring only one standard hold luggage size suitcase and one rucksack per person.

Crossing the bridge over the Leça River, you’ll arrive in Matosinhos, known for its thriving fishing industry. From Matosinhos, the route continues north along the coast, following a mix of dedicated bike paths and well-maintained seaside roads. 

In Praia de Angeiras, we recommend hopping into your support vehicle to skip the next section: a stretch of 5km/3 miles of cobblestones, very typical of traditional Portuguese towns built for horses and carriages rather than bikes!

Now inland, you’ll ride along quiet rural roads, surrounded by green pastures and rolling hills. This stretch is peaceful and ideal for enjoying the sights and sounds of northern Portugal’s countryside.

The final part of the ride descends towards the River Ave and into Vila do Conde.

Cycle route 1: Porto - Vila do Conde

Vila do Conde

Vila do Conde is a pretty town built during the Portuguese Golden Age, or the ‘age of discovery’, when mariners set sail for sub-Saharan Africa and India for the first time. The town is a favourite with daytripping locals, who are attracted to its beautiful beaches, excellent food and relaxed ambience.

The skyline is dominated by the imposing Monastery of Santa Clara, as well as the aqueduct that was built in the 18th century to bring water to the monastery and of which nearly 1000 arches still remain.

 

Sunday, 7th September: Vila do Conde – Viana do Castelo
Route: 52.1 km/32.4 miles
Elevation: +330m/+1083 ft
Accommodation: Pousada de Viana do Castelo

Today’s route follows the beautiful cycling path northward along the coast. The well-maintained route takes you past sandy beaches and the fishing port, offering picturesque views of the Atlantic. At Póvoa de Varzim, you’ll turn inland to continue heading northwards. 

From here, the route continues north through Navais and Estela, where the landscape transitions into peaceful coastal dunes and agricultural fields.

As you continue towards Fão, the route follows a mix of coastal paths and quiet backroads, passing by scenic sand dunes and pine forests before crossing the Cávado River via the historic Ponte de Fão into Esposende. From here, you’ll follow the cycle path along the estuary before turning inland to cycle through beautiful countryside, with small farms, vineyards, and traditional stone houses dotting the landscape.

Approaching Estrada and Castelo do Neiva, the route turns slightly inland, where you’ll encounter rolling hills and a mix of quiet village roads. Finally, you’ll cross the 19th century bridge, designed by famous French architect Gustav Eiffel, over the River Lima into Viana do Castelo.

In the afternoon, we’ll take a short transfer in our van to visit Ponte de Lima, one of the prettiest and most charming towns in Portugal. This village is located to the south of Lima river and it has been the main crossing point ever since the Romans built a bridge back in the year 1 B.C.

Afterwards, we’ll return to our beautiful hill-top hotel to enjoy dinner with spectacular views.

Cycle route 2: Vila do Conde - Viana do Castelo

 

Monday, 8th September: Viana do Castelo – Baiona

Meals included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

 

Today we’ll enjoy fabulous views as we continue to follow the coastline north, passing by ancient monasteries and small popular shrines, to the pretty fishing village of Vila Praia de Âncora, where we’ll enjoy a ride along the seafront boulevard, fininishing at the star-shaped Lagarteira fort, which has protected the town from sea attacks since the mid 17th century.

Heading out of Vila Praia de Âncora, we’ll pass by the clifftop chapel and cross of San Isidrio until we reach the medieval border town of Caminha. Don’t miss the rude gargoyle at the church of Nossa Senhora da Assunção, a symbol of the historic enmity between Portugal and Spain!

In Caminha, you’ll take a boat across the River Miño to begin the Spanish portion of your journey! Your guide will take the long way around and meet you in the charming fishing village of A Guarda. Don’t forget that Portugal and Spain are in different time zones, so the time will leap forward by an hour once you cross the border.

In A Guarda, we recommend a brief stop to admire the colourful fishermen’s houses and the Plaza do Reló, the heart of the medieval old town.

OPTIONAL: Those interested in history might consider cycling up Monte de Santa Tegra to visit the fortified celtic town at the top of the hill, which dates back to the 4th century BC (this diversion entails an additional: 7km/+350m).

From A Guarda, you’ll follow a coastal cycle path along one of the wilder portions of Spain’s Atlantic coast. Along the way, you’ll pass by the beautiful beachfront Monastery de Santa María de Oia, which dates back to the 12th century, and the Bronze Age Castro de A Cabeciña. We also recommend a photo stop at the beautiful Vello de Silleiro lighthouse.

Once in Baiona, you can spend some time exploring the city’s atmospheric historic centre and quaint fishing port. The town’s most important historic building is the Castelo de Monterreal, a medieval fortress that still retains the cannons once used to defend the town from pirates, and which offers fabulous views over the bay from the parapet. Nowadays, it is a luxury hotel; your hotel for the night, in fact!

We’ll enjoy a delicious dinner together at the hotel, watching the sun set into the Atlantic Ocean.

Once in Baiona, you can spend some time exploring the city’s atmospheric historic centre and quaint fishing port. The town’s most important historic building is the Castelo de Monterreal, a medieval fortress that still retains the cannons once used to defend the town from pirates, and which offers fabulous views over the bay from the parapet. Nowadays, it is a luxury hotel; your hotel, in fact!

Take a stroll around the seafront old town, exploring the corridor-like streets full of traditional palaces, built by Galicians who made their fortune in the New World centuries ago.

Baiona was, in fact, the first port in Europe to hear the news of the discovery of America, when La Pinta arrived there on 1st March 1492. A replica of this famous ship can still be visited in the port today (open daily 10:30am – 1pm/4:30pm – 7pm) as well as a sculpture dedicated to the historic encounter between the two worlds.

If your legs are up to it, we recommend the short hike up to the 17m tall sculpture of the Virxe da Roca, where you can ascend the spiral stairs and admire the views from the boat in the virgin’s right hand (open daily 11am – 2pm/4pm – 9pm).

You can also spend some time relaxing on the beach after your cycle ride.

 

Tuesday, 9th September. Baiona

Daytrip to Cies Islands National Park

Today, we’ll enjoy a boat trip to the beautiful Cies Islands, often called the “Galician Caribbean” due to their pristine white sand beaches. These islands, a refuge for pirates back in the day, are currently an uninhabited paradise. There are no cars, no hotels, and the number of visitors each day is restricted.

It is recommendable to wear comfortable clothing with an extra layer in case of wind, and sneakers with white rubber soles for better grip aboard the boat. You can also bring along a swimsuit and towel in case you decide to stop for a swim!

The Cíes Islands are a protected nature reserve; please note that bikes are not permitted, and please ensure that you bring your passports with you.

12pm: Boat departs from Baiona for the Cíes Islands.

A lunch of traditional Galician fare will be served on board the boat.

Enjoy a day at leisure on the Cíes Islands, relaxing on the beach (note: the average water temperature is 15C in summer!) or exploring one of the marked walking routes. 

7pm (approx): Boat arrives back in Baiona.

 

Dinner tonight is not included, so you’ll have some free time to explore the tapas bars around the port.

Route: 63.1 km/39.2 miles
Elevation: +825m/2706 ft
Accommodation: Parador de Pontevedra
Hotel services: Restaurant, bar, laundry
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

 

Today, the Camino takes you around the bay of Baiona, heading north along the PO-552 coastal road, which is well-paved and relatively quiet in the morning. The first few kilometers take you across a Romanesque bridge into A Ramallosa, a small but picturesque town. 

As you enter Nigrán, the coastline opens up, revealing sweeping views of a long, golden beach. There’s a dedicated cycle lane in some sections, making for a relaxed ride.

Leaving Nigrán, you take a quiet inland detour, climbing gently through forest-lined roads and rolling farmland. This section offers a mix of asphalt and smooth secondary roads, with light traffic and a peaceful atmosphere.

In Oia, you’ll pass traditional Galician stone houses and vineyards. The landscape here becomes hilly, with glimpses of the Ría de Vigo appearing between the trees.

Here, we recommend hopping into the support vehicle to skip the section through the city of Vigo. Consult with your guides as to where to restart the route: our suggestion would be the pretty town of Arcade, where you can try the town’s famous oysters, cultivated in the Vigo esturary.

From Arcade, the ride takes you inland through A Canicouva, where the landscape shifts to dense forests and ancient stone pathways. The roads are quiet but hilly, offering a mix of short climbs and fast descents. This section is one of the most peaceful parts of the ride, with lush green valleys and stone villages making for a picturesque experience.

The final stretch leads you into the historic city of Pontevedra, one of Galicia’s most bike-friendly cities. The old town is almost entirely pedestrianized, making it a pleasure to explore by bike.

Dinner tonight is not included, so you’ll enjoy some free time to explore the popular tapas bars of Pontevedra.

The Camino today takes you out of Pontevedra, across the Puente del Burgo bridge over the Lérez river and into rolling countryside with gentle climbs.

Next. the road takes you deeper into Galicia’s forested countryside, passing through a number of tiny hamlets. Here, the path follows small streams and shaded trails, making for a tranquil ride. We recommend a stop in the spa town of Caldas de Reis, situated at the confluence of the rivers Bermaña and Umia, and well-known for its geothermal hot springs.

OPTIONAL: In Caldas de Ries, you can take a short detour to visit a beautiful waterfall, where you can still see some traditional Galician muiños (windmills).

Leaving Caldas de Reis, the road gently ascends, offering panoramic views of green valleys. The countryside here is dotted with vineyards and small farms.

You’ll continue north along quiet forest paths towards the town of Padrón, famous for the small green peppers of the same name. In Padrón, you can also visit the church of Santiago (open Wed – Mon 10am – 9pm), which houses the pedrón: a block of granite that was once part of a Roman temple to Neptune and which is said to have served as mooring for the boat that carried the remains of Saint James from the Holy Land to Galicia.

From Padrón, the route becomes more demanding, with a series of small but steep hills. This section offers a mix of forests, rivers, and farmlands, with some of the day’s most stunning rural landscapes.

The official end-point of the Camino in Santiago de Compostela is the Cathedral, located in Plaza del Obradoiro.

8pm: Dinner at Restaurante Abastos 2.0.

We’ll continue north, hugging the coastline, enjoying uninterrupted views of dunes, wetlands, and the shimmer of the ocean.

Our next stop is Ézaro, where a detour takes us to one of Galicia’s most dramatic sights: the Cascada do Ézaro, the only river in Europe that plunges directly into the sea.

Next, the route continues along quiet coastal roads, where lush eucalyptus forests frame glimpses of turquoise coves, and into the small beach town of Cee.

From here, we’ll push onward to Finisterre, and the iconic Faro de Fisterra, a lighthouse perched on the “Edge of the World.” The views here are unforgettable – rugged cliffs, endless ocean, and the sense of deep history where pilgrims have finished their journey for centuries.

From here, we’ll coast back down into Finisterre to enjoy a well-deserved lunch with stunning views.

Click here for our Google Maps list of recommendations in Santiago de Compostela.

Santiago de Compostela was, without a doubt, the most important city in Christian medieval Spain. It’s world-renowned for its cultural and religious significance, and each year thousands of travellers come to visit.

Santiago Cathedral: The end of your pilgrimage and top of your tourist list is Santiago’s magnificent cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century and is one of the few catedrals in the world built over the tomb of an apostle. We highly recommend the cathedral rooftop tour (available daily from 10am – 8pm, reservation recommended). You’ll climb up the cathedral tower and out onto the roof for a once-in-a-lifetime angel’s eye view of Santiago, as well as a unique perspective of the stunning cathedral.

Take a stroll in Alameda Park for fabulous views of the cathedral and the rest of Santiago’s UNESCO World Heritage Site old town. Don’t forget to take a picture with the statue of As Marías, two elderly sisters who used to go for a walk in the park every day at 2pm, dressed in their finery, regardless of civil war, dictatorship or inclement weather!

For more insight into the history of the Camino, don’t miss the Pilgrimage Museum (open Tue – Fri 9:30am – 8:30pm, Sat 11am – 7:30pm and Sundays 10:15am – 2:45pm)

Also well worth a visit is the Museum of the Galician People (open Tue – Sat 11am – 6pm and Sun 11am – 2pm), which explores the unique culture and history of this little corner of Spain. The museum is housed in a former Dominican convent, set in beautiful grounds that are now a public park.

Eating and drinking in Santiago de Compostela

Mercado La GalicianaThis gastromarket is just a couple of years old, and it’s the perfect place to enjoy both local and foreign food. There is an amazing range of eateries, and the place itself is beautifully designed (open Sun – Thu 12pm – 12am and Fri/Sat 12pm – 1am)

For a more traditional experience, visit Mercado de Abastos (open Mon – Sat, 11:30am – 5pm). This historic market is extremely popular with locals, and contains a range of restaurants, traditional market stalls, and even a fishmonger that will cook your purchases for you while you wait!

Santiago de Compostela also has a fantastic tapas culture. You will receive one free tapa per drink purchased, so we recommend that you stick with small glasses of albariño wine! Some of our favourites are Bar La Tita (enormous portions of tortillaPetiscos do Cordeal (seafood), Benboa (seafood), Viñoteca Ventosela (cheese and charcuterie), Raices Gallegas (traditional Galician dishes including zorza and raxo) and Orella (pig’s ear).

For a sit-down meal, we highly recommend O Sendeiro (open daily until 6pm, and Wed – Sun 8pm – 12am) or A Curtidoria (open Wed – Sat 1pm – 5pm/8:30pm – 12am, Tue and Sun 1pm – 5pm).
