The new layout in O Porrino now allows pilgrims to evade Gándaras an industrial estate. The historical path Orbenlle O Porrino had been occupied by the largest industrial estate in Galicia and the N-550.
The trail construction enabled by the Louro river now allows pilgrims to enjoy better scenery. The new road runs incorporating a unique natural area, in places, the old Camino Real between Tui and Vigo.
Its design involves just a few hundred meters more than the current itinerary than Gándaras Industrial Estate and the N-550. The route runs now and Mosende Pontellas and joins the center of town so it is now easier to find the hostel, located near the slaughterhouse Frigolouro.
The Association of Friends of the Way made the new route with the help of neighbors and technicians Heritage and the Jacobean of the Xunta.
Tourism Councillor O Porrino, Ana Martínez says that "the new layout is great. Initially there were some concerns by some pilgrims because some websites still displayed the old route but that has been remedied. " Martínez explains that "the new layout is much nicer and the pilgrims are happy because the views are better. People coming cycling and riding are fascinated by nature and the streams you can now see. Before I had to go through the industrial estate and the road and now no longer. "
Councillor hopes that the new route will contribute to enhancement of the tourist village. Last year 3,000 pilgrims spent the night at the lodge and pavilion O Porrino. This represents almost a third of the 9,394 who left Tui. The number of walkers who left the cathedral last year increased by 12% compared to 2012.
