GETTING THERE AND AWAY
Travelling to the Start of the walk
You will need to get yourself to and from the start and end of your walk. i.e. you will need to organise your travel to the start of the walk in Baiona. To make it easy we have collated some useful information that will assist you in making arrangements for your travel.
Vigo Airport, (Vigo–Peinador Airport ), is about 33 km from the city centre. There are regular flights from and to almost all major European cities. There is an airport bus available from outside the terminal which takes you to the city centre. Then from there, take a 40- 50 minute bus to Baiona.
VIGO – BAIONA: Lugove (http://www.lugove.es) buses depart daily from the Vigo Intermodal Station (Rúa de Vía Norte, 36204, Vigo, Pontevedra). The journey typically takes between 30 and 50 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at the bus station.
Our transport partners on the ground can also provide private transfer on all routes. Do not hesitate to contact us.
Travelling from the End of the walk
The walk finishes in Santiago de Compostela
By rail: The train from Santiago de Compostela back to Lisbon takes about 7 hours. However, you might be better served to head to an alternate destination. San Sebastian, Salamanca or Seville, there are so many great options it’s difficult to decide.
By plane: There are flights from Santiago de Compostela to other parts of Europe. Below are possible websites that provide a number of different carriers to choose from.

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.
