Itinerary for Camino Portugues: Deluxe Hotels
Starting in Tui
Make your way to Tui, a lovely Spanish town near the Portuguese border. Nestled on the banks of the river Miño, this town marks the start of the final 100km of the Portuguese Way to Santiago. After exploring the local area, you will settle into your hotel for a good night’s sleep ahead of your Spanish walking adventure.
Start the Camino Portugues
Leaving the buzzing streets and gorgeous architecture of Tui behind you, it’s time to set off for your first day on the Camion Portugues. Today you will walk through lovely Galician countryside and enjoy the shade of peaceful woodland as you make your way to O Porrño. You can take a dip in the gorgeous hotel pool or relax on a terrace overlooking the river before enjoying a hearty meal and peaceful night of rest.
A hilly trail to Arcade
After a delicious breakfast at your hotel, you will begin your camino to Arcade. The terrain will be steeper today, but you will be rewarded by views of the ocean and the refreshing shade of Pine and Eucalyptus. Following the coast from Redondela, you will arrive in Arcade with plenty of time to check out the lovely promenade before you settle down for the night.
A short walk to Pontevedra
As the week goes on, you will notice the number of fellow pilgrims begin to rise. Enjoy swapping stories from the trail as you pass through historic villages and ascend the trail to A Canicouva. Today’s walk is short, so you’ll have the opportunity to explore the beach at Pontesampio before arriving in the vibrant streets of Pontevedra.
Savor the Galician countryside
Today you will step into the heart of Galician countryside, leaving the lively town of Pontevedra behind you. Passing through woodland, crossing gurgling streams and admiring the waterfalls of the Barosa river, you will immerse yourself in Spanish nature on the route to Caldas de Reis. On arriving at your destination, you can arrange to visit the thermal spring waters to soothe your aching muscles.
A peaceful journey to Padrón
On this penultimate day on the trail, you will pass through sleepy villages and traditional farmland. Enjoying a peaceful walk through rural Galicia, you will experience the same landscape that pilgrims have been travelling through for over a thousand years. You will spend the night in Padrón, where you should try their world-famous peppers!
Arriving in Santiago
After 100km on the Camino Portugues, you will finally arrive in Santiago de Compostela. The scenery transforms from rural to urban landscape as you get ever closer to this major Spanish city.
