Overview
The Portuguese Coastal Way, or Caminho da Costa, is a stunning but easy electric bike alternative route to Santiago de Compostela.
This journey of faith and hope, commonly known as the Camino de Santiago, was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times, undertaken by thousands of pilgrims through the centuries. It was seen as an enactment of the spiritual journey to Christ, and the hardships along the way were welcomed as tests of faith.
The Way of St. James, as it is also known, was originally covered on foot by the devout and is still traversed today, not only on foot, but also by bicycle or electric bicycle! And, if you prefer, high-quality touring bikes are also available (discount applied).
Portugal has become one of Tripsite's favorite destinations, and we think it will become yours as well.

You will enjoy the seaside landscapes and small “Portuguese Rivieras” such as Póvoa de Varzim. This is one of the oldest fishing villages in Portugal with an ancient center, old fishermen's district, beach districts, and an emerging contemporary east district. Póvoa is a hotspot for nightlife as well! The town of Vila do Conde became important in the 15th century as a shipyard and played a role in the era of Portuguese discoveries, known as El Dorado. It has always had an ancient connection to the sea, as do all the coastal cities. The journey ends in Esposende, a seaside city located in the North.

- Premium: Hotel Axis offir
Day 3: Esposende – Caminha, 31 mi. (50 km)
Today's agenda includes Viana do Castelo, another seaside city that was very strategic during the era of the Discoveries. During the XIV-XVth Centuries, it was here that the ships were built to sail to Brazil, India, Africa, and other Portuguese colonies. The final destination today will be Caminha, on the delta of the river Minho which became an important trading port early in the 14C, shipping wine to Britain and importing products from Africa, India, and Brazil. Today, Caminha is known for its green rural landscape and pine forests clinging to the slopes of the granite mountains, which provide good hiking. The river estuary is good for boating and the beaches are popular in the summer.
Sample accommodations

- Premium: Superior room upgrade in Hotel Porta Do Sol
Day 4: Caminha - Baiona, 25 mi. (40 km)
Your route leads into Spanish territory, ending in Baiona. In the days of the famous voyages of Christopher Columbus, this was the first port to hear about the discovery of America. Today, a replica of the Pinta is permanently moored in the harbor. Apart from the sea landscape, you can get lost in the old city center, a tangle of inviting lanes, with a handful of 16th and 17th-century houses and chapels. There are quite a few churches and other small buildings of architectural and historical interest. Still, Baiona's most prominent building is the Castelo de Monterreal, a castle on the edge of the town, providing excellent views of the town and the surrounding coastline from its elevated position.Sample accommodation

Pontevedra is proud of its cultural and natural heritage.

Since the Middle Ages, it has been part of the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela. Besides the rich cultural heritage, like Arcade, Caldas de Reis is known for its “empanadas” of lamprey and the traditional Spanish bread. Even today, the hot springs are a unique tourist attraction.Sample accommodation

The cathedral of Santiago dominates the golden granite square with its Baroque towers, covered everywhere with ornamentation. The city is surrounded by the hilly, lush terrain of Galicia, dramatic coastal scenery, delicious seafood, fine local wines, and an easygoing ambiance.

Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy–Moderate
This is an easy (to moderate - it depends on you!) electric bike tour along the coast, a good alternative to the much more difficult pilgrimages. The first three days are predominantly flat on hard surfaces, but you will encounter a few inclines and varied surfaces (30% bike lanes and wood walkways, 30% dirt roads, mainly smooth, but also partly rough and cobblestoned, and 20% secondary roads with low traffic.) The last three days are the more difficult portion of this tour, again on varied terrain, with short, steep hills. There are 4121 meters of cumulative climbs. On your electric bike, you can make the hills as easy as you would like or adjust your support for a little challenge. High-quality touring bikes are also available if you prefer. (Discount will apply.) This will raise the difficulty level to moderate. Regardless of the type of bike, this is not a tour for inexperienced cyclists as the terrain is varied. It is important to have good balance and good command of your bike. This tour is offered as self-guided, guided, or guided plus with a support vehicle and extra meals included.
