Itinerario
Día 1: **Día 1: Llegada a Oporto**
Hotel 4*: Trindade Hotel
Día 2: **Día 2: Traslado de Oporto a Póvoa de Varzim → Apúlia: 15 km**
La primera jornada arranca en la ciudad de Póvoa de Varzim y avanza pegada a la costa siguiendo el Camino Portugués de la Costa a Santiago. Es un día llano que combina pasarelas de madera junto al mar con tramos de tierra. Prepárate para ver playas preciosas y también campos de cultivo. Al llegar al pueblo de Apúlia, disfruta de la deliciosa gastronomía local, como las sardinas frescas o el arroz de pulpo.
Hotel 4*: Apúlia Praia Hotel
Día 3: **Día 3: Apúlia → Esposende: 16 km**
El segundo día de esta ruta a pie continúa por terreno llano y carreteras asfaltadas. Aprovecha para visitar la iglesia parroquial de Fão, lugar de devoción para la mayoría de los peregrinos. Al llegar a Esposende, y antes de ir al hotel, hay otro lugar que merece una visita: el Castro de São Lourenço. Subiendo al monte del Castro de Lourenço podrás ver un poblado fortificado en el que se han hallado vestigios que se remontan al siglo IV a. C.
Hotel 3*: Suave Mar
Día 4: **Día 4: Esposende → Castelo de Neiva: 14 km**
En esta etapa de 14 km la caminata comienza cerca de la línea de costa, por carreteras asfaltadas y disfrutando de las magníficas playas que ofrece el norte de Portugal. El destino final es Castelo de Neiva, una localidad que se remonta a la Edad del Hierro y que más tarde, en los siglos I y II a. C., fue romanizada. Es imprescindible visitar la iglesia local, muy importante para todos los peregrinos que van a Santiago.
Casa rural: Quinta do Monteverde
Día 5: **Día 5: Castelo de Neiva → Viana do Castelo: 14 km**
Al salir de Castelo de Neiva rumbo a Viana do Castelo, te espera una ruta con varias subidas y bajadas hasta el destino final. Prepárate para admirar un entorno lleno de paisaje natural. A mitad de camino verás la capilla de Senhora do Castro. En esa misma zona hay un mirador desde el que se contempla el hermoso paisaje montañoso. Ya en Viana do Castelo, puedes visitar la catedral y el santuario de Santa Luzia.
Hotel 4*: Melo Alvim
Día 6: **Día 6: Viana do Castelo → Vila Praia de Âncora: 19 km**
Casi diecinueve kilómetros separan Viana de Vila Praia de Âncora. La caminata en sí es llana y discurre principalmente por senderos de tierra y caminos empedrados. Transmite una sensación muy natural, ya que gran parte del recorrido va por una costa menos urbanizada que la de la etapa anterior. Entre los lugares que pueden despertar tu interés durante el día están los numerosos fuertes y molinos de viento que encontrarás por el camino, el faro de Montedor y el dolmen de Barrosa en Vila Praia de Âncora.
Hotel 4*: Hotel Meira
Día 7: **Día 7: Vila Praia de Âncora → Caminha: 8 km**
Siguiendo por la costa y manteniendo el mismo tipo de terreno llano, la caminata de hoy llega al corazón del río que separa Portugal y España en su frontera más septentrional. Es una etapa fácil, corta en distancia y en desnivel. España ya se veía en la jornada anterior, pero hoy es claramente visible en un monte que recuerda a un volcán. Una vez en Caminha, prueba el pescado portugués: sardinas o bacalao asado.
Hotel 4*: Portas do Sol
Día 8: **Día 8: Salida**
