Autumn is one of the best seasons for walking and hiking. Mild temperatures, peaceful trails and wonderful colours make September and October ideal months to experience the magic of the Camino de Santiago.
These are some great trip ideas for a colourful Autumn on the Camino:
VINEYARDS ON THE CAMINO PORTUGUES
The Camino Portugues takes pilgrims across the Rias Baixas region, which is famous for its Albariño white wine. In just a week you can walk the last 100kms from the historic town of Tui on the border with Portugal and get your pilgrim certificate in Santiago.
Vineyards of juicy native grapes dot each little hamlet and village along the route in the Autumn months.
If you have two weeks, we suggest you start your journey from stunning Porto, home of the famous Port wine.
Price: 7 nights from 695 per person sharing including accommodation, 4 dinners, luggage transfers and holiday pack. Superior Collection option also available.
