Self Guided Walking Holidays in Portugal

Walk Portugal's Costa Verde on this self-guided 8-day trip from Ponte de Lima along the Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela, passing through the fortified town of Valença do Minho. The route follows the Minho River westward through Vila Nova de Cerveira before heading south along the Atlantic coast to Vila Praia de Âncora and Viana do Castelo. With 7 breakfasts included and luggage transported between accommodations, you'll see deep-rooted culture and unspoiled coastline at your own pace.

Walk 19.3 km from Avelar through the Soajo Mountains, climbing 576 meters to reach rare heritage sites like wolf knitting structures and shepherd's huts. Stone pilgrimage paths lead through forests to the religious complex at Peneda, then descend beside the Peneda River toward the Spanish border. Complete your self-guided trip with a riverside stroll along Ponte de Lima's Roman bridge and a port wine tasting in Vila Nova da Gaia's historic cellars in Porto.

Self-guide through Portugal's coastal landscapes using detailed GPS navigation and route descriptions provided in German, English, and French. Walk independently along the Ponta da Piedade cliffs near Lagos, cross Ria Formosa's viewing towers to spot various bird species, and check out Fuzeta's colorful fishing villages. Hike at your own pace with luggage transfers between 4-star accommodations and 24-hour service hotline support.
