The original Portuguese Saint James pilgrimage—the Central Camino—begins in Lisbon, Portugal before journeying north to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. On this extraordinary, goal-oriented hike, trek along serene pathways and through lush forests, visiting historic Portuguese and Galician villages and passing the longest river on the Iberian Peninsula.

One of the world's great pilgrimage routes, the Camino de Santiago has drawn travellers for over a thousand years — and the pull is as powerful as ever. This expedition walks its ancient paths through Basque country, the vineyards of La Rioja, and the rolling hills of Galicia, culminating in the sacred silence of Santiago de Compostela.

History unfolds around every turn along the Iberian Peninsula, enticing with traditional fare, wine, world-class art, and architecture. Discover its World Heritage Sites, sun-kissed villages, and monuments to glories past, from Lisbon to Madrid, sampling its multicultural treasures as you go.
