The Camino Portugues from Tui is among the routes that has grown the most in recent years, along with its closest alternative, the Portuguese Coastal Camino from Baiona.
The last 100 km of the Camino Portugues enters Galicia through Tui, on the banks of the Miño River, crossing the International Bridge that links the lands of Portugal and Spain.
You will pass through small villages, medieval bridges and forests in the middle of a picturesque landscape that will allow you to discover emblematic cities like Tui or Pontevedra, with a beautiful old town, and you will visit charming villages such as Caldas de Reis.
Arrival in Tui, where you can fill yourself with energy to start your tour of the Portuguese Way by taking a walk through its streets and the beautiful Plaza de San Fernando. We also recommend visiting the Cathedral of Santa Maria.
After having crossed the famous International Bridge over the Miño River, designed by Gustave Eiffel himself, you will begin your journey from the old port of Tui. Your path will continue towards the beautiful village of Valença do Minho, in the direction of O Porriño, where you will rest tonight.
Today's stage will be slightly more difficult than the previous one but it will be compensated with beautiful views of the Atlantic. You will continue through the valley of Louro, ascending to the hill where you will find the Chapel of Santiaguiño. Your path continues with a spectacular panoramic view through the town of Redondela. Then, you will continue near the Ria de Vigo until you reach Arcade, your goal today.

You will cross the Verdugo River through the Romanesque Sampaio Bridge and continue along a cobbled road with great views of the Bay of Vigo until you reach the beautiful city of Pontevedra. Pontevedra is the most attractive city of this itinerary, with a charming old town. We recommend taking a walk through its picturesque squares and narrow streets of the old town.
You will wake up in Pontevedra to continue with your Camino de Santiago towards the spa town of Caldas de Reis. Your journey will begin among beautiful groves until you reach Ponte Cabras. You will continue through typical rural towns of Galicia until you reach Caldas de Reis, the end of today's stage.
