Why Tui over Vigo?Use Gronze as a guide and substitute Tui-Redondela with Vigo-Redondela. Gronze also has information on accommodation.
Hi Chrissan, I'm doing a similar walk starting 30th April. I'm travelling from Vigo to Valenc (just over the border in Portugal from Tui) and then walking to Santiago. This is 120kms so I'm going to have to motor to make it in 5 days! I've also been researching re albergues and have decided to book my first night and then wing it each day. It sounds like you too are going to be close if you plan to walk 15kms/day...it won't leave a lot of contingency in case of any blisters etc. If you can, try to plan a little further to walk each day, if you can do 20 then you'll have a spare day at the end! Good luck! PeteHello, I will be doing my very first Camino walk in 2 weeks, although I did some research (read blogs, books and youtube) but I still feel that I am still clueless lol. For those who completed this journey, could you please help me with my Itinerary from Vigo to SdC. I am planning to walk around 15 km/day and I only have 7 days to walk from Vigo to SdC. Please let me know which town/city I can rest each night including accommodation recommendations and the attractions not to be missed on each town/city along the way. I am planning to travel as light as possible due to health conditions (only clothes, raincoats, no sleeping bag) so I am planning to stay mostly on hostels with private rooms, pension houses or hotels. Thank you in advance!

This is a not common routing from Vigo back to Valença do Minho . 30 kms back on a non waymarked trail and then back 120 kms on the Central route to SantiagoHi Chrissan, I'm doing a similar walk starting 30th April.

Hi Pete, thank you for your suggestions. I actually have a total of 9 days for this trip but I am planning to stay 2 nights in Vigo and maybe 2 nights in SdC to visit places around the city and to prepare for my walk.Hi Chrissan, I'm doing a similar walk starting 30th April.

I completed Vigo to Santiago, via the Variente at the end of my Coastal Portuguese in October...it's a nice route, a good alternative in my opinion to the Sarria-Santiago stretch. I have some friends coming to Spain in May and they want to step into the Camino world...but lightly so I chose this route, they mostly want private rooms so it was no problem to arrange it for them and they want luggage transfer. I chose the following itinerary, 7 days. Vigo-Redondela, usual city walk to begin but some nice woodsy areas too, Redondela to Pontevedra, slightly more difficult than day one with a few steep climbs, places to stop for breaks, and take the river route towards the end...Pontevedra to Combarro, this is a very short stage, not too challenging and I want my friends to come back so I made 1 stage into 2 , plus Combarro is worth a longer stay, sleep in, get there in time for lunch and enjoy some time in the seaside village...tomorrow you climb! Combarro to Ribadumia, so this puts you sort of in-between stages, it starts our like a bear, straight uphill for a couple of hours, but a lovely end to the days walk through the route of stones and water, one of the prettiest peaceful stretches on any camino...Ribadumia to Vilanova de Arousa, another easy walk, take time to book your boat crossing a day or so ahead..if you like mussels your in the right place, Vilanova de Arousa to O'Sisto, day starts with a boat ride up the river to just outside Padrón, , you could stay here, or go all the way to Santiago, a lot depends on your boat time and that depends on the tide....could be 6:00 am or early afternoon...I chose to walk halfway to Santiago and found an amazing albergue...and will do the same with my friends in May...last day to Santiago, a few hours and you're there....Buen Camino..
