About this activity
Begin your full day tour as soon as your guide collects you from your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. Cross the border between Portugal and Spain to reach the city of Santiago de Compostela. Get to know one of the most famous pilgrimage routes in the world for centuries, the sacred St James way. Created as a sort of affirmation of the Catholic faith and devotion, this road connects several points of Europe with this Spanish city. Finally, we can appreciate the stunning Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, for many pilgrims the final goal. A building full of importance that, according to tradition, hosts the tomb of the apostle Santiago Maior, the patron saint of Spain. Say goodbye to Spain and come back to Portugal because there are loads to discover as we head tTowards Valenca do Minho, the iconic city of a unique work of art: The Heart of Viana, in Portuguese filigree. Find out the biggest tourist attraction of the city, The Fortress, built to protect the village of the Spanish attacks. A stunning Fortress of two towers and a double great wall projected in the Vauban Style, a military architect. You will have enough time to explore the incredible Fortress before you safely return to Porto. As you arrive at Porto, your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
