Choose your Camino
to Santiago.

The French Way is the great unfolding Camino journey: a succession of landscapes, historic cities and encounters that changes character as you travel west. From Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the complete Way crosses the Pyrenees before passing through vineyard country, the wide horizons of the Meseta, mountain landscapes and the green lanes of Galicia. By the time Santiago appears, the arrival carries the weight of everything experienced along the road.

It is also the Camino many travelers first meet through culture: the route followed in Emilio Estevez’s film The Way, Paulo Coelho’s book The Pilgrimage and the documentary Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago. Their stories have helped generations imagine the friendships, difficulties and personal discoveries that can emerge over weeks on the road.

You do not need to walk all of it to feel its spirit. The final stages from Sarria bring together oak woods, old stone lanes, rural villages and the shared anticipation of pilgrims approaching Santiago. Longer journeys reveal how rewarding the contrasts can be, while the route can also be experienced by e-bike or through a private guided or coach-supported journey for a group.

Choose it for: the fullest expression of Camino life, remarkable variety and the greatest choice of durations and travel formats.

The Portuguese Way is a journey between two countries, bringing together gracious historic towns, rural paths, welcoming accommodations and the distinctive cuisines of Portugal and Galicia. Pilgrims have traveled toward Santiago from Lisbon, Coimbra and Oporto since at least the Middle Ages, following roads that created lasting cultural connections across the border.

From Oporto, the central route travels north through Portugal before crossing the International Bridge between Valença and Tui. The transition into Galicia is part of its appeal: the Way continues through O Porriño, Redondela, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padrón as the landscapes and traditions gradually change on the approach to Santiago. Beginning in Tui concentrates the journey into these final Galician stages without losing the character of the historic cross-border route.

It offers a lively Camino atmosphere while generally feeling calmer than the French Way. Ultreya Tours offers journeys from Oporto or Tui in Classic and Premium styles, gentler At Your Pace stages and a self-guided e-bike itinerary from Oporto.

Choose it for: the pleasure of crossing two cultures on foot, characterful towns, memorable food and a gentler Camino atmosphere.

The Coastal Way leaves Oporto beside the Atlantic, following beaches, waterfront paths and fishing towns before crossing into Galicia and continuing through the Rías Baixas. Sea air, broad horizons and the changing relationship with the ocean give these stages an open, luminous character unlike the inland Portuguese route.

The Spiritual Variant creates an especially memorable final approach. It turns through the Albariño vineyards and historic communities of the Salnés Valley before a sailing stage toward Padrón, reconnecting with the walking route to Santiago. The combination of coast, countryside and time on the water gives the journey a distinctive rhythm from beginning to end.

Ultreya Tours offers the Spiritual Way from Baiona or Vigo, including Premium and exceptionally gentle At Your Pace journeys.

Choose it for: Atlantic horizons, Rías Baixas landscapes, Albariño vineyards and the boat journey into Padrón.

The Sanabrés Way begins in the thermal city of Ourense and enters an inland Galicia of peaceful paths, welcoming towns and softly changing countryside. Removed from the busiest pilgrim corridors, it offers the pleasure of following a historic route with room to notice the landscape, settle into the daily rhythm and enjoy the sense of discovery as Santiago gradually draws closer.

Ultreya Tours presents its 109 kilometers as an At Your Pace journey, using gentler stages to create time for the places between each day’s starting point and destination. It retains the satisfaction of a continuous Camino while allowing more room for rest and for rural Galicia itself.

Choose it for: peaceful paths, the warmth of inland Galicia and a continuous Camino enjoyed in shorter daily stages.

The Winter Way approaches Santiago through one of Galicia’s most evocative interior landscapes. From Monforte de Lemos, the route reveals the vineyard-covered slopes of the Ribeira Sacra, Romanesque heritage, rivers and quiet villages before continuing west through rural Galicia.

This is a Camino whose atmosphere comes from the landscape and the silence around it. Ultreya Tours offers it as an unhurried At Your Pace journey, with daily distances planned so the vineyards, heritage and changing countryside remain part of the experience rather than simply ground to cover. Its quieter rhythm gives every arrival its own sense of discovery.

Choose it for: dramatic vineyard country, deep local character and a slow journey through a less familiar Galicia.

Most Caminos end in Santiago. The Finisterre Way begins there, leaving the cathedral behind and turning west through forests, villages and rural Galicia toward the Atlantic. Across 92 kilometers, the energy of arrival slowly gives way to another anticipation: the first glimpse of the ocean and the knowledge that the path continues all the way to the coast.

Reaching Finisterre and its legendary lighthouse creates a powerful second conclusion at the edge of the sea. The route can extend another Camino when the journey does not yet feel finished, or stand on its own for travelers drawn to the idea of beginning in Santiago and walking toward the horizon.

Choose it for: the growing presence of the Atlantic, the walk beyond Santiago and an ending beside the sea.
