Walk from Porto to Santiago: Slowness and Sharing

I’m looking for travel companions to walk the Portuguese Way from Porto to Santiago. It’s not a trip for those who want to rush or prove something; it’s a slow path where days unfold between steps, conversations, shared silences, small discoveries, and moments of listening.

We’ll complete the route in about 10 days, walking 18–22 km per day. You don’t need to be super fit, but you do need the willingness to welcome the effort with respect and lightness. We’ll stay in simple hostels and guesthouses, sharing rooms and meals. For me, that’s the beauty of it: reaching the evening knowing we supported each other throughout the day.

I don’t see it as a strictly “spiritual” journey, but I believe that walking for many days together brings out something human and deep: conversations open up, defenses soften, and you feel part of a small group that takes care of one another.

The pace will be relaxed. We’ll start early in the morning to walk in the cooler hours, with breaks for coffee, sandwiches, laughter, or quiet moments. I’m a calm, empathetic, non-judgmental person. I’m looking for people with a similar energy: no competition, no pressure.

If the idea of a journey made step after step calls to you, we can get to know each other in a quick call before confirming.
