Camino Portugués from Tui to Finisterre

Arrival on your own (see transfer service). We spend the first night in Tui. This city is characterized by its historical-artistic complex. It is recommended to visit the historic old town and the cathedral. Also the international bridge, which connects Spain and Portugal. You can also use the day to visit Valença do Minho (there is an open air market on Wednesdays).

This stage is probably one of the most difficult but most beautiful of the entire trip. We will cross the Miño River and ascend to Ribadelouro. It may take some time as a large part of the itinerary goes through asphalt and urban areas, but pilgrims who want a more natural environment have been given an alternative that crosses the As Gándaras Natural Park to O Porriño. This alternative is also well marked.

The climbs of this stage are difficult, but the beautiful views from above reward the effort. As soon as we reach the charming city of Mos, we find the first climb to the Alto de Inxertado. As soon as this is overcome, we begin a gentle descent towards Redondela.

The last stage of the caminos. We will cross the N -550 road several times and be guided by the railway line. We first hike towards Iria Flavia and then begin an ascent to “O Milladoiro” to finally see the towers of the cathedral as we approach Santiago. Here the desire to arrive is combined with the pain of parting, that this unique experience is over.
