It is the second busiest and most demanded route after the French Way.

The Portuguese Way is a journey that goes into Galicia towards Santiago de Compostela through Portuguese lands.
A route in which you will cross forests, villages, medieval bridges and historic cities such as Tui or Pontevedra.
In this case, we offer to carry out the Galician part of the Portuguese Way, that is, the last 100 km (Minimum required to obtain the Compostela).

Arrival in Tui

Arrival at Tui, from where the last 100 km of the Portuguese Way begin to Santiago de Compostela.

The stage begins in Tui, a city bordering Portugal.
We recommend visiting and enjoying its Cathedral and the bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel, before starting the march towards O Porriño.

Day 3

O Porriño - Arcade (22 km)

Stage of certain difficulty, with ups and downs. The views of the Atlantic coast are worth it.
Given that Redondela is a small town, and does not have a great offer of accommodation, so many pilgrims choose to continue to Arcade to 7 km.
This option allows you to walk less km the next day.

Day 6

Caldas de Reis - Padrón (19 km)

Quiet stage, which runs through the Galician countryside.
The stage concludes in Padrón, a city known for being the first point of land sighted by the ship that carried the remains of the Apostle Santiago.
Padrón is also known as the birthplace of great writers such as Camilo José Cela and Rosalía de Castro.
