The Camino de Santiago - Portuguese Coastal Route

The Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James, is a series of pilgrimages which end at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela where the remains of St. James are said to be buried. During the Middle Ages the Way of St. James was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages.  

There are many routes, since people came from many areas.  I chose the Portuguese Coastal Route for my Camino, starting in Porto, Portugal. 

I plan to post photos chronologically, but not necessarily a day at a time. 

I arrived in Porto the day before beginning my Camino, so I could have an afternoon to explore a little. Blue is my favorite color and I admired the blue tile I saw everywhere.  This is the train station of St. Bento.

Come back tomorrow and I'll have more photos from my afternoon in Porto!
