World Retreats, Adventures, Workshops and Spiritual Growth

This will be a mindful walk of the last 100km (the minimum required to earn your Compostela certificate) of the Portuguese Way from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela in eight walking days at a leisurely pace and take your time to explore the beautiful villages along the route, the local culture and the Galician cuisine.
This final stretch of the Camino Portugues Coastal is 100 km from Vigo to Santiago. This Portuguese Coastal Route or Portuguese Way starts in the dynamic seaside town of Vigo, in the heart of the Rías Baixas
Each morning we will meet, i will guide you to do some gentle yoga stretches, a mindful meditaiton and have a small mindful task for the day, which we will discuss during our evening get-together
I am repeating the walk due to popular demand but this time starting from a costal resort "Vigo", home to a fishing port plus ancient Roman ruins, neoclassical churches, and an authentic Galician old town. You may wish to stay a for a day or so before the walk begains

### Difficulty and terrain
This itinerary is relatively speaking a relaxed walk which includes walks of 10-12km per day on average The terrain is flat or hilly without steep ascents or descents. You will follow a mixture of dirt roads, woodland paths, minor roads and some busier roads close to the bigger towns and cities. The routes are well-marked with yellow painted arrows and a yellow shell on a blue background, and the itinerary is very easy to follow.
Please note this will be a small walking group of no more that 6 people and myself, so it will sell out
Each nigh there will be shared accomodation in a twin room as close to the end point of the day as possible.
We will have one or two meetings before going so pople can ask questions
