Pilgrim Altar

Highlight • Structure

Just before reaching Ponte de Lima on the Portuguese Way, a small altar leaning against a tree invites you to pause. Surrounding it are messages of all kinds—some funny, some moving, all with the soul of a pilgrim.

Azulejo Shrine of Saint James the Greater

Highlight • Religious Site

This simple wayside niche is one of the most photographed treasures by pilgrims on their way to Santiago. It depicts Saint James the Greater in tiles, an art form as Portuguese as the Way itself.
