In the surroundingsThe Cedofeita district is a short walk from Porto’s historic centre: the Clérigos Tower, the Lello bookshop, the Ribeira on the Douro and the wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. From the hostel’s doorstep, the Portuguese Camino heads north out of the city towards Santiago.
The best logistics of the Camino de Santiago. We have a hotel next to the cathedral of Santiago as a point of assistance and collection of our rental bicycles.
