If you return by train you have to take a train from Santiago to Vigo in ordem to get the 9AM train from Vigo to Lisbon
Hi!
If you're travelling during the week the best way is by train.
If you have to return during the weekend I think the bus is probably better.
Anyway it takes about 7hours.
Bom Caminho!
We were there in March and had dinner at this restaurant that we like da lot:

I walked from Ponte de Lima last month, and planned on walking 7days (ponte de lima - rubiaes - tui - redondela - pontevedra - caldas de reis - padron -santiago). The stage between tui and redondela is about 30km so we only made it to o porriño and took a taxi from there to redondela because we...
When I finished my Camino I also felt a bit empty, as if something was missing...
What helped me a lot was to think of myself as a pilgrim - from now on, all of us are this 'thing' we weren't before: now we are pilgrims! And this makes a lot of difference.
A pilgim is someone who walks towards...
Hi! I think that 4 days is a bit tough. Personally I planned to walk from Tui to Redondela (30km) and wasn't able to do it... Why don't you start in Redondela and do the usual stages (redondela-potevedra-caldas de reis-padron-santiago)? It will still be nice and you will enjoy the walking much...
Hi Antonio,
It's impossible to know how you will feel but during one month you are certainly going to have good days and bad days, days that start good and end bad and the other way around... All in all I think that it's important to bear in mind what your motivation for doing the Camino is. I...
I just got back from my first Camino, and all I can say is that it is much more difficult than you could ever imagine, there are days when really everything hurts! But it is really, really worth it! Just go one day at a time, respect youself and your body, and when you feel you can't go on, just...
Hi Judydaisy!
You're right there are 2 paths: the old through the industrial area and the new one by the river. This detour exists maybe just now during the winter/rainy season, so probably in May or June this won't be an issue!
Bom Caminho :)
Hi Leaningforward! What a coincidence to find you here!Yesterday we followed your advice and went the mass at 19h30 and it was really special to hear: 'two portuguese pilgrims that started in Ponte de Lima' and also to see the botafumeiro!
Now we're headed back home to see our baby twins!
Today...
Hi we walked this part of the Camino last Monday and we followed the green 'desvio' arrows since the path bu the Louro river is flooded and too muddy,
Since then the weather is much better since it stopped raining so maybe the path will be better soon.
Just to let you know!
Bom Caminho :)
Hi!
We're planning on walking the Camino from Ponte de Lima to Santiago starting on the 1st of March. For the first time!
I have a few questions that I'd be delighted if you could help me with:
Since we're not experienced hikers and wish to 'take it slow' - are 6days enough?
Did anyone walk the...
