This is a guide to plan your Camino de Santiago Portugués, the Central Route from Porto. It follows the route I took, places and sights I visited along the way, and places I stayed at night (note: if there’s no link, it means I personally wouldn’t stay there again).

IBuy Your Camino Passport to Get Stamps En Route

n Porto, you can obtain your Camino de Santiago passport (Credencial) at the Sé Cathedral’s shop or the Pilgrim’s Reception Office. This passport is essential for those wishing to complete the Camino as a religious pilgrimage, allowing you to receive stamps and eventually obtain a Compostela certificate
