The Camino is more than a journey, it's an encounter with oneself. For Catarina Varges, walking to Santiago was a personal challenge and an invitation to chosen solitude, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Four days, hundreds of steps and a deep silence accompanied her along the Ecopista do Minho and the trails to Compostela. Between the vastness of nature and the absence of pilgrims, she found a rare space for reflection and to test her own limits.

With each stage, she felt the weight of the walk and the lightness of discovery. In the end, it wasn't just the arrival in Santiago that marked the journey, but the certainty that the Camino had transformed more than her steps, it had transformed the way she saw herself.

Come and hear her story and get inspired!

There are paths that lead us to destinations and there are paths that transform us.

For Marco Silva, the Camino de Santiago It was more than a pilgrimage — it was a space to connect with nature, a shared challenge, and an opportunity to slow down and experience each stage. Over the course of five days, alongside his wife and other pilgrims, he experienced moments of overcoming, unexpected discoveries, and lessons that only the Camino can teach.

Between the silence of the trails and the conviviality of sharing, he realized that the true essence of the Camino lies in the generosity of the encounters and the simplicity of being present.

Each step is a story, and the Camino writes them all.

When Arabela decided to travel the Camino de Santiago , he wasn't just tracing a route on the map, he was testing his limits, challenging his mind and body, and opening himself up to the unpredictability of the journey. At each stage, he encountered unexpected challenges, moments of overcoming and discoveries that only the Camino can offer.

Between difficult descents, unexpected conversations and the magic of the “Buen Camino” exchanged between pilgrims, Arabela learned that the true journey goes beyond the distance covered; it is made of inner strength, acceptance and communion with everything that surrounds us.

For Andréia Silva, the Camino de Santiago It was more than just an arrival — it was a full experience at every stage. Over the course of five days, from Valença to Santiago, he discovered that true magic lies in the silence, simplicity and overcoming that each kilometer offers.

In Caldas de Reis he found the most memorable moment: a mix of exhaustion, enchantment and achievement that remained etched in his memory. It was then that he realized that it is possible to live with less, but feel much more.

In this interview, Andreia shares with us a transformative experience — made of firm steps, a light spirit and the certainty that the essential is found on the path, not at the destination.

On a journey where each step is an inner journey, Joana found more than just trails and stunning landscapes on the Caminho Português do Interior — she discovered herself. Driven by the search for peace and focus, she spent six days walking a route marked by silence, persistent rain and the smiles of other pilgrims who, with a simple “buon camino”, lit up the path.

In this interview, she shares how the Camino helped her open her soul and heart, healing her through pain and detachment. She tells us about the steep climbs, the magic of the green forest and the crystal clear waters of the streams, and how each challenge reinforced her courage and inner strength. For Joana, the Camino is about belonging, freedom, overcoming — an experience so transformative that she plans to repeat it one day with her daughter.

For Sonia Graça, the Camino de Santiago proved to be more than a pilgrimage; it was a true lesson in surrender and acceptance. Getting lost along the way taught him one of his most valuable lessons: on the Camino, as in life, control is an illusion. There is no point in counting kilometers or planning each arrival, because unexpected events are part of the journey – and when accepted with an open heart, everything becomes easier.

With this transformative experience, Sonia made a new decision: to become a guide and help other people live the Camino de Santiago , guiding them not only along the path, but also through the deep meaning that each step can bring.
