Why? Do you have bad experiences?

Is it possible to walk on to Arcade? There is a 10 bed private albergue which you may be able to book in advance if you feel you could walk that far.

I have not got the train from Vigo to Redondela but just had a look online and it seems they are quite frequent and take about 10 mins.

Buen Camino

Its only 10 to 15 minutes to either Vigo or Ponteverda and a very short walk to both from Redondela, and everything I read about the place says nothing in it and i don't want to spend the best part of a day hanging around an empty town.
Both Vigo and Ponteverda both look intresting with plenty of cheap reasonable looking hotels

There are 2 train stations in Redondela, Picota is the old station and Redondela is the newer station on the outskirts up the hill. I think there is a regular regional service on renfe. We spent a couple of hours there catching the train from Santiago as we had passed through on the elevated railway line earlier and decided to have a look round, but just had coffees and returned to Santiago.Both Vigo and Pontevedra are worth a visit, Vigo also has a newer station not far from the sea, in Pontevedra the station is about a kilometre from the old part along the camino. Pontevedra was our day out after a recent Camino Ingles. Enjoy whatever you decide.
