Itinerary Structure: Day by Day
Day 1
Arrival in Tui and Official Welcome
Welcome and Preparation
Your adventure begins in the historic border town of Tui. We'll be waiting for you at our physical location (The Pilgrim Hub) to welcome you in person, answer any remaining questions, and give you your official kit: your pilgrim's credential, exclusive maps, and your merchandise. Take advantage of the afternoon to stroll through the historic center, visit the famous Cathedral of Santa María, and have dinner by the Miño River. Tomorrow, the fun begins!
Day 2
Etapa 1 – Tui a O Porriño
(16,6 km)
First steps through forests and valleys.
After leaving your backpack at your accommodation before 8:00 AM for us to transport, you'll cross the historic center of Tui heading north. This first stage combines rural Galician landscapes with wooded paths and traditional granaries. A gentle stage, perfect for warming up your legs, that will take you to the lively town of O Porriño, famous for its modernist architecture.
Day 3
Stage 2 – O Porriño to Redondela (15.2 km)
From the Valley to the Sea
A pleasant stage that winds through wooded paths, small rural villages, and the Louro River valley. After tackling the climb to the summit of A Escanderejana (O Saxamonde), the effort is rewarded with the first panoramic views of the sea. Arriving in Redondela offers a panorama of the Vigo Estuary and the San Simón inlet as a backdrop. You'll discover a town famous for its impressive 19th-century railway viaducts and its lively Camino de Santiago atmosphere.
Day 4
Stage 3 – Redondela to Pontevedra (19.6 km)
The medieval bridge of Pontesampaio.
Today, the route offers one of the most iconic views of the Portuguese Way: crossing the Verdugo River on the medieval bridge of Pontesampaio. After a climb along ancient cobbled paths, the Way winds through dense Galician forests until reaching Pontevedra, one of Galicia's cultural capitals with a spectacular pedestrianized historic center that you'll love exploring at dusk.
Day 5
Stage 4 – Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis (21.1 km)
Hot springs and vineyards.
You leave Pontevedra behind via the Burgo Bridge. This stage is a true visual delight, surrounded by Albariño vineyards, rural villages, and cultivated fields. The final destination is Caldas de Reis, a town with a centuries-old thermal tradition. You can relax your tired feet in the public hot springs before heading to your hostel for a rest.
Day 6
Stage 5 – Caldas de Reis to Padrón (18.6 km)
The land of literature and peppers.
A very comfortable and shady day's walk through the beautiful Bermaña Valley and the Valga forests. You'll enter the province of A Coruña and reach Padrón, a town forever linked to the Jacobean tradition (the boat carrying the Apostle's remains arrived here) and to the literature of Rosalía de Castro. You're just a step away from the finish line!
Day 7
Stage 6 – Padrón to Santiago de Compostela (24.3 km)
Arrival at the Plaza del Obradoiro.
The big day! The longest and most exciting stage of the journey. You'll travel through small villages until you catch your first glimpse of the Cathedral towers from the Agro dos Monteiros. The final descent will take you into the historic center of Santiago, right to the foot of the Cathedral in the Plaza del Obradoiro. Collect your Compostela certificate and celebrate the end of an unforgettable experience. End of our services.

FAQs & SERVICES GUIDE
LOGISTICS AND LUGGAGE How does backpack transport work from stage to stage? Your backpack must be at the hostel reception in the morning, before the time we will tell you in the welcome briefing (or in your accommodation documents if you arrive outside of opening hours). The service covers the number of bags included in your package, with a maximum weight of 15 kg per bag (excess weight may incur surcharges). Our team will transport your backpack so it is waiting for you at your next arrival point at the end of the day. In Tui, we will give you the official luggage tags, which must be clearly visible on your bags at all times.
THE BRIEFING IN TUI We look forward to seeing you at our Hub in the historic center of Tui. A space designed by and for pilgrims. We'll provide you with your official pilgrim's credential, detailed route information, and exclusive Hub merchandise. We'll also answer any questions you may have about the terrain, weather, footwear, and key points for the first stages. Note for late arrivals: If you arrive outside of our Hub's opening hours, we'll leave your Welcome Kit and the briefing information at the reception of your first accommodation so you don't have to worry.
RESERVATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS What if I need to change the dates or cancel? We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. In your personalized proposal, we will detail the specific cancellation and flexibility conditions according to the policies of the hotels selected for your dates.
PHYSICAL PREPARATION Is it too hard? The Portuguese Way is one of the most accessible, with gentle slopes. However, we recommend: Walking in your Camino footwear at least 2 months beforehand. Taking 10-15km walks on mixed terrain. Key fact: 95% of our Essential pilgrims successfully complete the route thanks to walking without the weight of a backpack.
