A historic fortified town at the mouth of the Minho River, where pilgrims take the ferry to A Guarda in Spain. The last Portuguese town on the Coastal route.
Caminha is the last Portuguese town on the Camino Portugues Coastal route. This historic fortified town sits at the mouth of the Rio Minho, which forms the border between Portugal and Spain.
The town has a medieval centre built around the Praca Conselheiro Silva Torres, with a 15th-century clock tower, Gothic church, and traditional stone buildings. Services include a municipal albergue, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs, and a pharmacy.
From Caminha, pilgrims take a ferry across the Minho to A Guarda in Spain. The ferry runs regularly during the day but has limited service in winter. Caminha is also a decision point: pilgrims can alternatively follow the river inland to Valenca and join the Central route. A campsite is available for those who prefer to camp.
