Pilgrimage Porto (P) Santiago (E) Track 0: Porto> Vilar do Pinheiro

We have called this route Track 0 because this route mainly goes through the city of Porto. You must be a fan of that. Most pilgrims start at the airport just outside Porto (see the following route: Track 1).

If you spend the first afternoon or evening in Porto, go to a church - for example the Igrega do Terço - to get a stamp card and have the first stamp stamped there. This card (credential) can be stamped anywhere along the route. This is not only possible in churches but also in some shops, cafes, restaurants, hotels and refugios.

In Santiago you can exchange the card for the Compostellum, a certificate confirming that you have completed the tour.

The historic center of Porto is one big attraction. So plan a few extra days at the end of the route to get to know the city.

If you don't mind walking more than 12 km through the city, this 17 km route is a good start.
