Portuguese Way (June 1-6) 2027
2.750,00 €
Description
We are referring to the Jacobean pilgrimage from Portugal, which presumably already existed in the early Middle Ages. Bridges, rural chapels, sanctuaries, cruceiros, pazos and historic cities are revealed along a route that begins on the banks of the Miño River, in the city of Tui, and concludes before the tomb of St. James. The Portuguese Way in Galicia is a route of notable monumental evidence, with strong cultural realities that go beyond the architectural and museum aspects, signifying a privileged space for horseback riding with friends. If the pilgrim wishes, the Portuguese Way from the city of Braga is also available.
