There is some signage that helps guide pilgrims entering and leaving the city but I agree is far from adequate. I can recommend the maps Luis Freixo has prepared as you can download in various formats like pdf,wikiloc,google maps etc. If you use you willl not get lost when in Vigo! Link is...
My favourite resource is the Blog of Luis Freixo who has Maps of all the Portuguese routes including the coastal routes see http://www.caminador.es/
Bo caminho
Braga is one of my favourite cities. It's also the starting point of a beautiful Camino to Santiago well there's actually 4 routes and they are called Camino Miñoto Ribeiro and Camino Geira Romana o dos Arrieros.
Yes some good choices here thanks for sharing. I know the owner of Caracas in Ribabavia vey well, Manolo. Their menu del dia is excellent and his house wine too as he makes it himself like most of the food including the pork! Fanatical Real Madrid fan and he's really poular in the town as he...
Yes I'm glad there's interest for camino from Braga to Santiago de Compostela known as Camino de Santiago da Geira Romana e dos Arrieiros. Here's the website link for further info https://debragaasantiago.com/etapas-camino-xacobeo/ There's also an alternative route which starts at the border...
Yes you really must visit Braga it's so beautiful and its people real friendly etc. There's lots of caminos which you can walk crossing the mountains to Lobios where you turn right and head towards Celanova to Ourense or turn left towards the Ribeiro wine producing area whose capital is...
I did this Camino 3 times in September and October 2019. I calculated 24.5 km from centre of Arcade (1.5km to Ponte Sampaio then another 23km) to Combarro where the Port is passing through beautiful but narrow Old Town. Then to Armenteira uphill it's a tough but rewarding 10km. Go to Chapel...
The Camino from Tui to O Porriño then Mos onto Redondela is worth walking..before O Porriño the new riverside walk is beautiful..after Mos it's great too..nothing dangerous if you follow the yellow arrows...
Yes I agree with you..it's a beautiful walk. In fact I enjoy the walk from O Porriño to Redondela too..although upon leaving the town along the main road ignore the mojon which directs you to go up a hill to your right..it's a waste of time & brings you back down to the road! But to Mos and...

Best to go just before mass at 7:30 pm..you can knock on priests door to right of altar.
That's not a good route! The best route is to follow the yellow arrows where he was before from Urzaiz as the route of water to Redondela which hugs the same contour is beautiful with lovely elevated views of the Ria de Vigo & Rande Bridge. You can download Freixo's pdf map of the stage as...
You can start from Baiona which is 130 km from Santiago. A Guarda is 165km away. There's a good bus service from Vigo to Baiona see http://www.atsahorarios.com/
Have a look at the Blog of my good mate Luis Freixo www.caminador.es He's got all the Portuguese Ways in every format e.g Google Maps, Wikiloc,PDF etc What's really impressive is that he has created a Camino from Oporto to Santiago for the mobility impaired so you could always follow that.
There is an 100km mojón on the outskirts of Vigo but it's in the middle of woodland. You can get a bus out of Vigo and start at Ramallosa or before at Nigrán. Pick up the yellow arrows at the Roman bridge in Ramallosa or nearer next to Pazo de Cee. Although at over 37km to Redondela from...
David,
You need to go back to the Home page of his Blog and start from there http://www.caminador.es/
The map you've shown is a redundant superseded map from 2013.
Here's the actual page you need to go to...
Yes that's right a map is a map ! He has all formats too so for example you can open Google Maps & see where gou are (and the marked Camino) while walking !
