Camino Frances ‘19 and ‘22, Camino Portuguese ‘23
Although I’m walking the Camino Frances for the second time in May/June, I am going to be in Tui, just over the border in Galicia in a couple of weeks time on a separate trip. I have just two days there and plan to walk two stages of the Camino Portuguese just for the fun of it while I’m there. So here’s the question…..which sections should I choose? I have my eye on Tui to O Porrino and Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis but I am completely open to suggestions on either side of the border. Thanks in advance !

Do so Martin Tui to O porriño is nice but do not loose your way.
oPorriño has a borring industrial estate, about 11 kms long and the original caminho leads through this estate. The Camino organisation made a detour in a green envirement but owners of bars and restaurant in the industrial estate change the waymarkers, leading to their places.


pontevedra is a nice town and the way to Caldas de Reís is nice too
my advice is to start in Portugal in Valença do Minho, walk over the bridge , which was built by George Eiffel , yes him from the Paris Eiffel tower and walk into Tui and on to O Porriño

bom caminho

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
