About
Discover the Camino de Santiago by bicycle, along the Portuguese Way starting from Guimarães!
We invite you to do with us the Camino de Santiago by the main route used by the Portuguese people, the Portuguese Way, which runs along the same route as the old royal road between Oporto and Valença, a city on the border with Spain.
The pilgrimages to Santiago date back to the 9th century, when the tomb of the Apostle Santiago the Greater was discovered. Since then, people from all over the world have ventured into various and different ways, taking risks and deprivations to visit and venerate Santiago.
It will be a pleasant trip along 205 kilometers by rails, paths and roads that will take us from Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal, to Santiago de Compostela, one of the main centers of Christianity.
Our priorities are your satisfaction, comfort, and safety so you will make the tour on mountain bikes with and without total suspension, of the latest models from reputed brands.

- Suzie-Scott-in-LA0 contributionsGreat way to see the area and get some exercise!We feel badly -- don't recall our guide's name but he is the owner of this business -- and he was fantastic! Bikes were in great condition and our guide was super nice and knowledgeable about the area. He led us through the town square and up the 'mountain' to see the sites and vistas then through the woods and down some fun single track trails. He provided us a healthy, light lunch and was all about making sure we were having a great day. Loved it!Written 27 August 2019
