Cross the border between Portugal and Spain to reach the city of Santiago de Compostela.
Discover one of the world's most famous pilgrimage routes for centuries: the Sacred Way of St. James. Created as an affirmation of Catholic faith and devotion, this route connects various points in Europe to Spain. An incredible network that serves pilgrimages to the shrine of the Apostle Saint James the Great, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.
Finally, we can admire the stunning Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela—the ultimate destination!—for many pilgrims from around the world. Featuring Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural styles, this cathedral is a true landmark not only in Galicia but also in Spain.
After this stop, it's time to enjoy a delicious tapas lunch at a traditional restaurant in Santiago de Compostela's historic center (not included). This typical neighborhood, steeped in history and tradition, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You've just had a great experience in Santiago. Now say goodbye to Spain and head back to Portugal: there are still many places to discover on this full-day tour!
We'll head to Valença do Minho, an iconic city in northern Portugal home to a unique and revered work of art: the Heart of Viana, in Portuguese filigree. This "Heart of Viana," in Portuguese, is the true medal of Portugal and holds significant significance in the Minho region. A golden heart that will amaze you.
Discover the city's biggest tourist attraction: the Fortress, built to protect the village from Spanish attacks. An impressive medieval structure with two strong towers and a large double wall designed in the style of Vauban, a military architect. You'll have plenty of time to explore the incredible Fortress before returning safely to Porto.
