The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St James refers to a number of European foot paths followed by pilgrims to reach the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, a city in the region of Galicia in north west Spain. Today the many routes are followed by spiritual seekers, hikers, cyclists, and organized tour groups. I followed the Portuguese Way, from Lisbon to Tomar, and the Coastal Route from Porto to Santiago, approximately 600 km in total.
