An artistic journey spanning 261 km, celebrating culture and fostering a dialogue between tradition and modernity, spirituality, and art.

The ‘Caminho da Arte’ (Art Route) aspires to become the most remarkable cultural route, connecting Porto Cathedral to the majestic Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, revitalizing the Portuguese Way of Saint James.

More than a path, it's a journey; a celebration of culture, an ode to creativity, and an experience that transcends borders, connecting people and places in a way that only art can provide.

A transcendental experience, where each step along the route is a work of art itself, stimulating the mind and soul.
