Inland Way, Torres Way, Spring Way
The Inland Way, Torres Way and Spring Way are three Jacobean routes running through the interior of Portugal, and they are interconnected as they cross one another along their respective paths. These pilgrimage routes serve as alternatives to major paths like the Central Way or the Silver Way, offering the chance to traverse some of the country's less populated, yet fascinating, regions.
The Inland Way is a pilgrimage route running from south to north through the interior of northern Portugal. It begins in the town of Farminhao, links with the Galician section of the Silver Way in Laza, and shares a segment with the Silver Way. It crosses the districts of Viseu and Vila Real as well as the province of Orense, passing through the cities of Viseu and Vila Real.
The Torres Way is a Jacobean route named after the pilgrimage undertaken by Diego Torres Villarroel from Salamanca in 1736. Serving as an alternative to the Silver Way, it crosses the province of Salamanca and the districts of Guarda, Viseu, Vila Real, Porto and Braga, ending in the city of Braga, where it connects with the Central Way. It also shares a short section with the Inland Way.
The Spring Way is a long Jacobean route that starts in Tavira on the Algarve coast, travels through the interior of Portugal from south to north, and ends in Trancoso, where it meets the Torres Way. It traverses the districts of Faro, Beja, Evora, Portalegre, Castelo Branco and Guarda, passing through the cities of Beja, Evora, Castelo Branco, and Guarda. This ensures an experience rich in natural, historical, and cultural heritage.
