The walk from Tui to Santiago is wonderful,,, none of the walking you mention is wilderness,,,Hi
I am walking the Portugese Camino in September, from the book it looks like the section from Tui to Santiago is not so interesting , less bush paths, and thinking of transferring from Tui to walk the last 115 km from Sarria.
Any advice on how to get to Sarria to Tui
Many thanksLook on Rome2rio it shows a train

Many thanks Marco, will do,appreciate your advice. Enjoy Santiago to FINNISTERE and Mucia my favourite part of the Camino.. I walked through Negreira lovely Albergue 10 k beyond then pure Heaven Finnisterre and MuciaI walked Tui to Santiago last June. It was beautiful. This is the “wine country” of Galicia. You walk through many local vineyards, as well as fields of their locally grown kale which they use to make the delicious “Caldo Gallego”. Tui- Santiago is also less traveled than the high trafficked Sarria-Santiago. Stay with Tui and be sure to try the “furancho” along the way!
be sure to try the “furancho” along the way!
Good choice! Buen Camino!H I

Kind regards

Along the Camino from Tui, particularly between Pontevedra and Caldas de Reis, I kept seeing the word Furancho on homemade signs and wondered what it could be. Finally I stopped at a residence/cafe on the side of the road a few kilometers before arriving in Caldas de Reis. That’s where I met the owner don Carlos. He explained to me that furancho was homemade wine from the previous year’s harvest. He had red (mencia) Albariño (white) and a generic vino blanco. He makes about 500 liters a year and sells it to his neighbors and inquiring peregrinos like myself. His wife had made several large empanadas of different fillings. I passed on the empanadas but I bought two small bottles from Don Carlos and continued my walk into Caldas. If you happen to stop at O Furancho de Barosa just before the Via Romana XIX Marker at km 48,148 please say hello to don Carlos!!I just looked up Furancho and I see it is taking a meal and wine in a private home. Are these well marked with signage using the word - furancho? Is there a guide listing these places or do you just ask the locals if there is a furancho in town when you are ready to eat? Can you recommend specific examples that you experienced? Do these tend to be economical choices...what pricing did you experience?
Thanks ahead of time, it sounds like a wonderful experience to get home cooked food in the actual home of a local. I would love that.
According to my notes don Carlos is on your left, directly on the Camino, just before the road that branches to Parque Natural de Río Barossa (ie just before where the Camino briefly merges with N-550). Here's his number if you're passing through and want to see if he's open: +34 610 909 970. I have his coordinates in my database but don't have access to it at the moment. Can post it later if anyone is interested.
