The Central Way seems to start as far south as the Algarve but it’s not a well trodden path down there and it’s very early days for this part of the Way. Again there is not so much infrastructure, but would appeal to pilgrims seeking more solitude and coastal walking. The Camino Portugués Variante Espiritual or Spiritual WayĪnother alternative to the Central Way that is often linked up with the Coastal Way. There is less infrastructure but things are improving. This is becoming popular too and hugs Portugal’s wild Atlantic coast. The Caminho do Costa or Portuguese Coastal Camino The main way from Porto has some variants. It’s about 600km from Lisbon, so you are looking at month. This would take you through the nice little cities of Tomar and Coimbra too. The Portuguese Camino has grown massively in terms of popularity and there is now infrastructure that matches the Camino Frances! Lisbon is becoming and increasingly more popular starting point although the infrastructure is still on the light side. Traditionally most people start from Porto which is 260km south of Santiago and will take most people 10 to 14 days to walk. The next most popular Camino is the Caminho Portuguese or the Central Way. Camino Portuguese (from Porto, Lisbon and beyond!) I hiked the Camino Frances in 2016 and blogged everyday. It’s popularity has truly soared over the years! It’s usually the first Camino that people tackle.

This is the most popular route that just about everyone knows the Camino Frances! Even the BBC made a TV show about it. So let’s talk about all the Caminos that run through France and Spain! Camino Frances – Way of St James I intend on hiking many more Camino de Santiago too! It wasn’t long before I discovered there are many other ways to Santiago that also share the famous yellow arrow! Since then I have hiked the Camino Portuguese and the Via de la Plata from Seville to Santiago. Many people think there is only one Camino de Santiago, indeed that’s what I thought too when I first embarked on my Camino Frances in the summer of 2016. I had the idea to make a map based on the fact I couldn’t find one online! I have always been fascinated with map making and decided to make my own showing all the Camino paths that currently run through Spain and Portugal.

The inspiration behind this map is to show pilgrims that there are many other routes other than the popular ones like the French Way. The Camino Frances of course starts in St Jean Pied de Port in France. There are over 50 routes on the map which start at all different points around Spain and Portugal. It was a labor of love to create and hope you have fun discovering the routes that you might not have known about. This is my map of all the known Camino routes through Spain and France as of February 2020.
