A Journey Through Northern Spain & Portugal

This is a cultural tour through Northern Portugal and Northwestern Spain in a region called Galicia, featuring sites of artistic and historical significance located along these famous pilgrimage routes. These roads are listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Our journey begins in the historical city of Porto, Portugal. Then we will make our way to Spain by bus. The highlight of the tour will be Santiago de Compostela, where we plan to attend the traditional pilgrim’s mass. Some of the main towns we’ll visit are Porto, Guimarães, and Braga in Portugal, and Lugo and Pontevedra in Spain. Some of these towns will be along the Atlantic coast. As usual, we are planning some excursions from these larger towns to visit picturesque villages like O Ceibreiro and Melide. We will have an experienced local tour manager with us who will conduct all guided tours and accompany us on any additional optional visits. So, we hope you are ready to pick up your staff and your boots and join us for this incredible adventure.
