We leave Tui, a beautiful galician town known for its XII century cathedral, and we enter Galicia. This stage follows the roadway and crosses mostly urbanized areas until reaching O Porriño, town known for its marble industry.

In this stage we get into the Louro valley. After leaving the village of Mos, we’ll find a hill on top of which we’ll see the hermitage of Santiaguiño de Antas. Afterwards, we descend to Redondela, town known for its industrial era viaducts built in the XIX century.

Today we’ll be able to enjoy the views over the Vigo estuary as we exit Redondela, but we must be careful, since in this first part of the stage the road crosses the N-550 roadway in a couple of points. Once we’re passed them, we’ll arrive to the village of Arcade, known for its oysters, and we’ll crossed the Ponte Sampan bridge, where Napoleon’s troops were defeated by the spanish people during the Peninsular Wars and forced to retire from Galicia.

After the bridge, we’ll start seeing signals installed by Pontevedra’s city council that will guide us to the Brea Vella da Caninouva, a roman road, and from there to the city itself.

Today’s stage is a full immersion in the galician countryside: pine forests, small villages, hermitages… Most of the road is composed by country trails. This zone is the origin of the Rías Baixas wine, specially the albariño, which we advise you to try.

The stage finishes at Caldas de Reis, known for its thermal waters.

We continue our journey through the galician countryside; today’s is one of the most beautiful stages of our Camino. Our destination is Padrón, known today for its peppers, and according to the legend, the place where St. James’ disciples disembarked his body when they arrived to Galicia.

In the last stage of this Camino, we’ll begin by crossing the historic town of Iria Flavia, of celtic and then roman origins. It was Iria Flavia’s bishop who, in the year 813, verified the existence of a tomb that apparently belonged to St. James, giving rise to the jacobean pilgrimage.

After Iria Flavia, the road climbs gently from the baroque sanctuary of A Esclavitude until reaching the Milladoiro neighborhood, in the outskirts of Santiago. It’s here where we’ll find the Alto dos Monteiros, a hill from which we’ll enjoy a view of the entire city, including the cathedral towers. a few more miles and we’ll have arrived to Santiago and finished our pilgrimage through the Portuguese Way.
