Comfort is always a priority, at the end of each day’s walk, we have ensured that there is a hot shower, a cosy bed, an en suite and plenty of quiet. A good night’s sleep is mandatory and ensures that you wake rested and primed, ready for the next day’s adventure on the Camino, of course, only after a satisfying breakfast. The accommodations we have chosen reflect the character and history of the region.
We work with several accommodations in each town on this route. The accommodation listed below is an indication of the standard that will be booked and may vary depending on availability at the time of booking. If the displayed option is unavailable, we will ensure that any alternative meets the same standard.
On the upgraded, luxury version of this walk, the accommodations are all 4-star or better. Even though the accommodations are much more luxurious, they still reflect the culture of the region. In addition, you can still expect a warm country welcome each day and all the hospitality typical of being in a country like Portugal.
It’s no coincidence that when walkers visit Portugal, they almost immediately fall in love with the food and wine. In Portugal, every dish, recipe, and ingredient has a story to tell. This is a world you’ll get to experience both on foot but also with your knife and fork. The Camino passes through many towns renowned for their excellent, authentic, and traditional food. In the North, it is worth frequenting Spanish Tapas bars to experience the wide range of local delicacies available.
Both Portugal and Spain have ancient wine industries. Many of the wines on this walk are not available anywhere else. However, alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).

Auswalk was amazing to deal with and were happy to customise our walk and build in rest days to suit what we wanted. They were very responsive and extremely helpful when one of us was injured and couldn’t walk for a few days. I thoroughly recommend Auswalk as being very professional and we will happily use them again.

We booked our Camino walk through Auswalk, and they were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organised — routes, accommodation, luggage transfers, and detailed notes. It made the experience stress-free and unforgettable. Highly recommend them to anyone dreaming of walking the Camino!

We booked our first Self Guided Camino, the Portuguese Coastal Camino, through Auswalk. The entire process from initial enquiry, booking, requests for additional accommodation, and the luggage transfers was seamless and faultless. The handbook notes were generally very accurate except for a few small grey areas. With so many other pilgrims and locals assisting with direction, it was never an issue. Accommodation locations we were provided were great and they were comfy and clean. Thoroughly recommend Auswalk self-guided tours.

We found AusWalk’s communication and organisation for the Portuguese walk to be absolutely seamless. The written booklet and GPX tracker made navigation simple and stress-free. The accommodation throughout the walk exceeded our expectations — comfortable, well-located, and of a higher standard than anticipated. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

My experience with Auswalk to arrange our Camino Journey from first contact to on the walk was easy, very helpful and personalised. It made my experience enjoyable and hassle free. I would encourage anyone to use Auswalks. I will be again.

The daily distances were less than the majority of walkers and this allowed us to spend time exploring daily destinations. Dept point process is easy to organise. Our entire walk went very well.
