Over the course of ten days, from March 10 through March 19, 2026, I walked the Camino Portugués central route from Porto in northern Portugal up to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest of Spain.

Day 3: Barcelos to Ponte de Lima (34km/21mi). Day 4: Ponte de Lima to Rubiães (18km/11mi). Day 5: Rubiães in Portugal to Tui in Spain (19km/12mi). Day 6: Tui to Redondela (31km/19mi). Day 7: Redondela to Pontevedra (20km/12mi). Day 8: Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis (21km/13mi). Day 9: Caldas de Reis to Padrón (18km/11mi). Day 10: Padrón to Santiago de Compostela (25km/16mi)
