Cycling the Camino Portugues

This guidebook covers the full route from Lisbon or Porto to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, with a recommended bike-friendly route that avoids one-way systems, difficult urban sections and rough ground requiring bike-carrying, alongside alternatives for those who want to stay closer to the original Camino. North of Porto, cyclists choose between the Central Camino - more direct and hillier - and the Coastal route via Vila do Conde and Viana do Castelo, with crossover options to combine both. The optional Spiritual Variant offers a memorable detour from Pontevedra to Padron, following the legendary Translatio boat journey.
