Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Traverser la frontière entre le Portugal et l'Espagne pour rejoindre la ville de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle.
Découvrez l'un des itinéraires qui mènent des pèlerins pendant des siècles vers la ville de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, le célèbre Camino de Santiago. Considérée comme une sorte d'affirmation de la foi catholique et de la dévotion de ceux qui la parcourent, cette route relie différents points de l'Europe à cette ville espagnole. Un réseau incroyable qui sert de pèlerinage au sanctuaire de l'apôtre Saint-Jacques dans la cathédrale de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, en Galice.
Enfin, nous pouvons profiter de la magnifique cathédrale de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle - le but ultime! - pour de nombreux pèlerins du monde entier. De style roman, gothique et baroque, cette cathédrale est un véritable monument, non seulement en Galice, mais également dans toute l'Espagne.
Profitez de votre temps libre pour déjeuner dans le quartier historique de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Cette zone typique, riche en histoire et traditions, est considérée comme un site du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO.
Vous venez de vivre une belle expérience à Santiago. Maintenant, dites au revoir à l'Espagne et rentrez au Portugal: il reste encore beaucoup à découvrir dans cette excursion d'une journée! Nous nous dirigerons vers Valença do Minho, une ville emblématique du nord du Portugal qui abrite une œuvre d'art unique et respectée: le cœur de Viana, en filigrane portugais. Ce "coeur de Viana" est la véritable médaille du Portugal et a une grande importance dans la région de Minho. Un coeur d'or qui va vous surprendre.
Découvrez la plus grande attraction touristique de la ville: la forteresse, construite pour protéger le village des attaques espagnoles. Une structure médiévale impressionnante avec deux fortes tours et une grande double paroi conçue dans le style Vauban, un architecte militaire. Vous aurez suffisamment de temps pour explorer l'incroyable Forteresse avant de rentrer à Porto en toute sécurité. Prenez autant de photos que vous le souhaitez et gardez cette visite pour toujours dans votre esprit!
