A way towards self-improvement

Throughout a journey of almost 25 days, the Torres Way continuously challenges pilgrims to find their limits and overcome them.

The first sections are lonely and there are few support facilities. It is the perfect environment for communion with nature and introspection. Entering Portugal, physical difficulties are accentuated, with successive climbs until reaching the highest point, at Alto de Quintela, at almost 1000 m of altitude. After days of isolation, contact with more developed urban centres awaits you, allowing for a greater sharing of experiences. You are days away from embracing Apostle Saint James and the last stages are of expectant anxiety.
