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.
