Discover the Wey of Santiago towards the majestic Santiago de Compostela.
Breakfast and start of the first stage of our Way from Tui to Santiago.
We begin this stage by crossing and strolling through the spectacular old town of Tui. We will have visited, among other monuments, the splendid Cathedral of Santa María de Tui, the Church of San Telmo, as well as the International Bridge designed following the influences of Eiffel.
The route crosses paths and trails through extensive wooded areas and numerous watercourses. We will cross the Ponte da Veiga, over the Louro river, one of the most characteristic of the journey.
On the way to Redondela, we will visit the Pazo de Mos, Cruceiro Os Cabaleiros, and the Chapel of Santiaguiño.
Arrival in Redondela. End of the stage. Lodging.
RECOMMENDATION
For those with little physical preparation or who prefer to undertake the stage in a more calm and relaxed manner, it would be advisable to divide the stage into two days:
Stage from Tui to Porriño (16.4 km)
Stage from Porriño to Redondela (14.8 km)
Breakfast and start of the stage.
Another stage of great beauty, intense green meadows, and magnificent views over the estuary of Vigo.
We will pass through numerous places that will invite us to stop.
It is worth noting in this stage the passage through Monte Albor and Pontecesures.
Among them, Arcade stands out, with its world-famous oysters, as well as Ponte Sampaio, famous for having hosted a battle against the French troops, which led to the retreat of Marshal Ney’s troops from Galician lands.
Arrival in Pontevedra. Lodging.
Breakfast and start of the stage.
After visiting Pontevedra, with its historic center of great monumental value, as well as its numerous squares, this stage plunges us back into the most rural Galicia, with numerous small villages and isolated houses surrounded by areas of abundant vegetation.
We will travel through small paths and trails, until reaching our goal of the day, Caldas de Rei, famous for being a top-tier thermal village, where if the pilgrim wishes, they can enjoy its thermal waters.
Arrival in Caldas de Rei. End of the stage. Lodging.
Breakfast and start of the stage.
Short and very comfortable stage. We continue crossing Galicia without major difficulties, with terrain that invites us to relaxation and meditation.
Small rural communities, numerous cruceiros (stone crosses) will appear along our way, mixed with the serene silence that has accompanied us since we began our Way of Saint James from Tui.
Arrival in Padrón. End of the stage. Lodging.
DID YOU KNOW that in Padrón, under the main altar lies “el Pedrón,” a stone said to have been used to tie the boat that transported the Apostle James, already dead, from Palestine to the Galician coasts.
Spiritual Variant-Translatio
There is the possibility of replacing this stage of the Camino de Santiago from Tui with a boat trip that runs from Vilanova de Arousa, through the Ría de Arousa, to the Ulla River, up to Pontecesures. From there, we will resume the journey on foot to Padrón (2.5 km).
We start the day with a delightful breakfast before embarking on the last stage of our journey.
After our stay in Padrón and Iria Flavia, significant places in Jacobean history, we head towards the end of our pilgrimage.
This stage may not be as impressive as the previous ones, mostly passing through asphalted roads, and the villages may lack the bucolic charm of before.
Nevertheless, we are in an area loaded with meaning, where much of the legend of the “translatio” of the Apostle to Santiago de Compostela unfolded.
Arrival in Santiago de Compostela. We have reached the end of our journey from Tui! We will look for accommodation to rest and enjoy this beautiful city.
If you prefer an alternative, you can also consider the Coastal Portuguese Camino, which is also very popular.
