It’s done! I’m back from Porto now, after having hiked there all the way from Santiago. Well, there had been a few interruptions by car, metro and bus but they’re not worth mentioning. Before I will inform you here about general tips the costs and the route, here are first of all some impressions from my time on the not-so-traditional Camino de Santiago.

On my way, which led me alongside the Spanish coast I received a lot of fantastic views. Also I could see plenty of animals – sadly dead as many as alive.

During Easter the relevance of this Christian Feast was remarkably noticeable in Spain. Even at the beach there was a sandy piece of art in shape of the crucified Jesus Christ.

Only for a short part I hiked on the traditional “Camino de Santiago”. Apart from that I hiked a part of the “Camino Portugues da Costa”.
