What you will find
The best of the stage.
Tui, the first Spanish town on the Portuguese Camino, with its old town and cathedral.
The chapel of A Virxe do Camiño, a simple 17th-century church.
The Orbenlle bridge, in San Salvador de Budiño, where the Camino offers two route alternatives.
Our tip. Don’t overdo the pace on the first day. After heavy rain the paths near the river are less comfortable: if the weather is bad, choose the drier alternative.
Where to sleep
Rest where the stage ends.
In Tui you can sleep the night before at St James Way Tui, right on the Camino. And when the stage ends we are waiting for you at our new Alojamiento Camino Portugués in O Porriño.
