Overview

Travel from Porto to Santiago de Compostela on a private full-day pilgrimage journey designed around arrival, meaning and time for the Pilgrim Mass.

Experience the Pilgrim Mass inside the Cathedral of Santiago, one of Europe’s great sacred destinations and the symbolic end of the Camino de Santiago.

After Mass, choose one optional cultural visit: the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela or the Cathedral Museum, adding context to the architecture, ritual, art and history of the pilgrimage city.
