This route became relevant above all in the twelfth century, after Portugal became independent half-way through the century. The route follows ancient roads and pathways, such as the Via XIX, built in the first century AD, joining Braga and Astorga via Ponte de Lima, Tui, Pontevedra, Santiago and Lugo. It was one of the most important Roman roads, as it formed the backbone of Gallaecia.

The example of kings, nobles and high-rank ing clergy made a decisive contribution to setting up a great Jacobean devotion; like the pilgrimage of Isabel of Portugal, the “Holy Queen”, in the fourteenth century. She offered up her crown on the altar of Santiago and was buried in Coimbra with a pilgrim’s staff. King Manuel I of Portugal made the pilgrimage from Lisbon to Santiago in 1502, and ordered a lamp to be lit day and night in the cathedral as a souvenir of his stay in Compostela; he assigned an annual payment for it. The effect of the Jacobean phenomenon in Portugal was so great that the country’s road network was based from the south to the north on the places through which the Pilgrims’ Way passed on the way towards Galicia: Lisbon, Santarém, Coimbra, Porto, Barcelos, Ponte de Lima and Valença do Minho, where the route crosses the River Miño and comes into Galicia. I n t h e n i n e t e e n t h c e n t u r y, w h e n pilgrimages were at an all-time ebb, as a consequence of the new times defined by the French Revolution and the invasion of Spain by the Napoleonic troops, the Portuguese Way became the most active Jacobean route. In this century, over 80% of f o r e i g n p i l g r i m s w e r e Po r t u g u e s e . The way comes into Galicia via Tui. It goes through O Porriño, continues on to the town of Redondela, then Caldas de Reis and Padrón, where the legendary “Pedrón” is kept (the stone where the boat that brought the remains of the Apostle was moored). The Way then comes to the ancient Roman city of Iria Flavia and from there to Compostela. An alternative route, known as the Coastal Portuguese Way, comes into Galicia via A Guarda, then goes to Baiona, through Vigo and joins the traditional Way in Redondela. We then come into the thriving municipality of O Porriño on Manuel Rodríguez Street. The origins of the town are closely linked to the Way to Santiago, and it is now a significant industrial centre with one of the highest population growth rates in the province of Pontevedra. The urban landscape delights us with the work of architect Antonio Palacios, born here in 1874: we pass in front of the Town Hall, one of his greatest creations (1924). Very close to the route lies the little church of San Luis, the fountain of O Cristo — one of this first designs, dating from 1907 — and the Palacios Chemist’s (designed for his brother José in 1912). Santiago de Compostela With the contemplation of these creations by the prestigious architect this stage comes to an end. 25.2 km We come into the Praza de Ponteareas and in another beautiful square, the Praza de Ribadavia, we come across the pilgrims’ hostel and the end of this stretch of the way. We now come to the historical monastery of Santa María de Oia, right on the coast. One of the names of this route, the“Monks’Way”, comes from this place. The monastery belonged to the Cistercian order. Its strategic location helped, more than once, to defend the coastline, such as half-way through the seventeenth century when the monks managed to beat off an attack by the Turkish fleet. On 1 March 1493, Baiona was the first port in Europe to receive the news of the discovery of America, as the caravel La Pinta docked here, captained by Martín Alonso Pinzón. The town still conserves all the splendour of its historical past. Baiona is also where the great estuary of Vigo starts in the south, protected by the Cíes Islands, the heart of the Atlantic Islands National Park. You can visit the islands by boat from here. The C-550 is always present. On this road we come into the city of Vigo, the largest city in Galicia with 300,000 inhabitants and half a million in the metropolitan area, a major fishing and container port, a dynamic and industrial city surrounded by beautiful beaches and landscapes. One of them, Saiáns, marks our entry into the municipality. After this, the parishes of San Miguel de Oia and San Salvador de Coruxo. We then go down the Camiño de Muíños to Samil, a beach which is the portico of the city. We have decided to stop here, right by the sea and with the Cíes Islands in the background, although we could also keep going into the city centre. From the Paseo de Alfonso XII we go down towards San Francisco and the historical fishing area of O Berbés. We leave Vigo through the neighbourhood of Teis — at the summit of Monte da Guía we can enjoy a wonderful view over the city — we then go through Paradela, Parada, Trasmañó, Rande and Portela, reaching Redondela, where this route joins the inland Portuguese Way. Half-way across the bridge we are in the municipality of Pontevedra. We go through Ponte Sampaio and continue along old and evocative cobbled streets, with stretches of the Roman road Via XIX, such as the ascent via Brea Vella da Canicouva. We are getting closer to Pontevedra, passing through Boullosa, Santa Comba de Bértola, the chapel of Santa Marta, Tomeza, Casal do Río and O Marco. Otero Pedrayo Street and the Roundabout of Compostela take us to the sanctuary of the Virxe Peregrina, Rúa Soportales, Praza do Teucro and the Rúa Real. The marvellous historical centre of the city awaits us. From this point on we have to pay attention to the signs, as the Way goes through various different crossroads and bends – the N-550 road is always present, as is the new highspeed railway that has changed the landscape. A Seca (in the Council of Barro) and Briallos (in the Council of Portas) point us on towards the municipality of Caldas de Reis. There are small pathways, alternating with paved and unpaved roads. We come to the beautiful village of Tibo, where walkers face the last stretch of this stage, almost at Caldas de Reis. We go past the church of Santa María and come into Caldas, a spa town, the Aquae Celenis quoted in the so-called “Itinerary of Antoninus”, a thirdcentury document that reflects the routes of the Roman Empire, bathed by the Rivers Umia and Bermaña. We go down the streets Santa Marta, Herrería and cross the bridge over the Umia, which brings pilgrims to the hot water spring the town has been named after since Roman times. We then follow the Rúa Real, cross over another bridge, this time the charming medieval bridge over the River Bermaña. The chapel of San Roque, at the end of the street of the same name — which joins the N-550 — marks the end of this stage. We leave Caldas on the N-550 but immediately turn into a nice little lane. The Route goes up to Santa María de Carracedo and then passes through Casalderrique and Casal de Eirigo. We are now in the municipality of Valga. From O Pino we go to Monte Castelo, thick forests bathed by the waters of the River Valga and dotted with old mills. The next villages are Cimadevila, the bridge over the River Fontenlo, Cedelo and Condide — in Pontecesures. From the viewpoint of Pino Manso we can see most of the valley of the River Ulla. The route now goes through the oldest part of the town of Pontecesures. We then cross the bridge over the River Ulla (of Roman origin, although rebuilt), separating the provinces of Pontevedra and A Coruña. Here is where the municipality of Padrón starts, in the province of A Coruña, the cradle of the Jacobean tradition, a beautiful and monumental town on the Banks of the River Sar. We come into the town over the fair ground, and then come to the Paseo do Espolón. In the centre lies the church of Santiago de Padrón, where the Pedrón (the stone where the boat that brought the remains of the apostle was moored) is kept. 25.2 km to Santiago Once we pass the chapel of San Caetano we come into the verdant woods of Reirís and Lombo da Maceira. We come into the municipality of Barro over a small stone bridge that crosses the brook known as O Rego do Cárcere. From San Mauro we go through San Mamede da Portela. We cross the bridge over the River Areal, which brings pilgrims — amidst large stone houses — into Balbón. There are two interesting stone crosses, one of them next to the house of Amonisa, while the shaft of the other shows St. James the Pilgrim looking northwards, towards Compostela. A third stone cross, the solitary Soutelo, completes the triad of these genuine sculptures that were set up at crossroads. 18.5 km / 43.7 km to Santiago The Lagares riverside walk also takes us to As Travesas — down the Avenidas de A Florida or Fragoso. From here we go to Tomás A. Alonso Street, join up with Pi i Margall and the Paseo de Alfonso XII. Here, around the old castle of San Sebastián, a genuine stretch of the old entrance to the now lost walled city of Vigo still remains: through the gate of A Falperra, next to the Rúa de Santiago. The Way leaves Pontevedra along the Rúa da Santiña, after crossing the River Lérez over the bridge of O Burgo. We then go round the large marshland of A Xunqueira de Alba. The route goes between the railway line and the River Granda. We go up to Pontecabras and the church and rectory of Santa María de Alba. In Goxilde the Archbishop of Santiago Diego Gelmírez rested on his way from Braga to Compostela. CALDAS DE REIS-PADRÓN An alternative to this route — more faithful to tradition, but today disfigured by large housing developments and excessive traffic — goes through the neighbourhood of Coia to As Travesas. On leaving Redondela we pass by the chapel of As Angustias. We come into the parish of Cesantes. On our left, to the west, the impressive estuary of Vigo: in the middle the Islands of San Simón and San Antón arise, under whose waters lie the remains of the galleons from the Battle of Rande (1702), while in the background the panorama is completed by mussel platforms and the hanging bridge of Rande. We come into the parish of O Viso and then to Arcade (in the municipality of Soutomaior), and go down the streets of Portas, Lavandeira, Cimadevila, Velero, Barroncas… until we reach the historical medieval bridge of Ponte Sampaio, over the River Verdugo. 23 km / 66.7 km to Santiago The best way to come into the city of Vigo is to follow the River Lagares upstream — it flows onto Samil beach. The riverside walk lets us enjoy its wetlands, flora and fauna. 18.2 km / 84.9 km to Santiago VIGO-REDONDELA We then come into the municipality of Nigrán. The Way delights us with beautiful examples of popular architecture, historical stately homes and stone crosses like those in Mallón and O Pereiro. We follow the paths known as Camiño do Souto and Camiño da Rosiña until we come to the nucleus of Nigrán. The stately homes of Urzáiz and Cea are just before the way up to Monte de Sanromán, which we have to cross to get to Priegue. 15.75 km / 100.65 km to Santiago BAIONA-VIGO OIA-BAIONA A GUARDA-OIA Padrón 24.9 km / 125.55 km to Santiago A few kilometres after Baredo we come to the castle of Monte Real, today the National Parador of Baiona. Its strong defensive walls stood up to attacks by English corsair Sir Francis Drake, who came ashore here in 1585. After the castle, Baiona. We bid farewell to Baiona and on the way to Sabarís pass by the historical fountain of O Pombal. We cross the River Groba over a Romanesque bridge; further on, the stately home of Cadaval, then another beautiful bridge, also Romanesque, in A Ramallosa. Here is the beginning of the Foz do Río Miñor, marshlands with great ecological value. PONTEVEDRA-CALDAS DE REIS We continue on towards Oia, in the municipality of O Rosal, along the coast. The ocean is on our left, delighting us with beautiful and overwhelming views. This stretch is practically flat and there is no shade. In summer, the sea breeze calms the heat of the sun. We leave the fishing village of Oia behind us and walk along the foot of the cliffs. We pass by the lighthouse of Cape Silleiro, the south end of the estuary of Vigo and the main guiding point for ships sailing these waters. We then go up to Baredo on the old king’s road. The rural core of Baredo is very well preserved, with cobbled streets and genuine popular architecture. There are plenty of barnacles on its rocky coastline. PADRÓN-SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA A Roman milestone — indicating a thousand steps, and which formed part of the Via XIX, joining, as we have said, Braga and Astorga — sends us on our way to the municipality of Redondela. Almost immediately we come to Vilar de Infesta. Pine and eucaliptus woods are the main features on this stretch. We then come to the legendary Chan das Pipas. Saxamonde, Quintela and O Muro take us to Redondela. Entry into Galicia on the coast starts in A Pasaxe (A Guarda). We have left Portugal behind in the beautiful municipality and town of Caminha. A Guarda grew on the slopes of the imposing hill fort of Santa Tegra, the town’s main tourism and historical value and one of the most impressive pre-Roman settlements in the north-west of the Peninsula. Santa Tegra was continuously occupied from the first century BC to the first century AD. The magnificent view of the mouth of the River Miño from the top will no doubt surprise us. 17.8 km / 143.35 km to Santiago Through Inxertado, with the valley on the east, we go up a slight slope to the chapel of Santiaguiño de Antas, a simple monument surrounded by a beautiful oak grove. 16.5 km / 159.85 km to Santiago We leave O Porriño behind us and soon come to the chapel of As Angustias.

We leave Amieirolongo behind and come to the centre of A Rúa, which was the ancient capital of the municipality of Mos. A stone cross bearing the inscription “Way to Santiago” marks the start of Os Cabaleiros Street, which takes us to the wellknown stone cross of Os Cabaleiros. REDONDELA-PONTEVEDRA It then goes past the chapel of the Virxe do Camiño, Paredes de Abaixo and the emblematic bridge of San Telmo, known as the Ponte das Febres. Once we have crossed this we come into a verdant wood known as A Ribeira and come to the village of A Magdalena. We are following the River Louro, which separates the municipalities of Tui and O Porriño. The next village is Orbenlle. In the distance we can see the granite quarries that have made the area famous (the stone is “pink granite”, which is exported to countries like Japan and the USA). 15.2 km / 100.1 km to Santiago The route continues down Travesía do Hospital, Praza do Concello, the convent of the Poor Claires, Rúas Tide and Antero Rubín. Before leaving the city, the Way goes down Rúa Canónigo Rubín y Calzada towards the park of San Bartolomeu. O PORRIÑO-REDONDELA TUI-O PORRIÑO 18.7 km / 118.8 km to Santiago THE PORTUGUESE WAY Access into Galicia is over the International Bridge that joins Valença (Portugal) and Tui (Spain) by crossing the broad River Miño. A track goes down to A Fábrica beach, where pilgrims disembarked before the bridge was built. We come into the historical centre of Tui down the Avenidas de Portugal and Galicia and soon reach the Parador. A milestone reminds us that there are 115 km left before we reach Santiago. The charm of Tui — one of the seven capitals of Old Kingdom of Galicia and declared a historical and artistic site in 1967 — is evident on every street and alleyway in its noble centre, a medieval city design dominated by the Romanesque and Gothic cathedral of Santa María. We have come to the cathedral along the streets of Bispo Maceira and Baixada ó Arrabal de Freanxo. We leave along the Dolores Street, cross the River Sar and come to Iria Flavia, nowadays in the parish of Padrón, although it was a Roman city and then the episcopal see until the eleventh century. We pass the Camilo José Cela Foundation and cross the N-550.The Sar Valley is home to traditional villages like Pousa, Souto, Rueiro, Cambelas and Anteportas. We come to the sanctuary of A Escravitude, behind which we can enjoy the magnificent views of Padrón and the lands of Amaía. We go down to Angueira de Suso, and then go along O Faramello and come to the hostel of Teo (where we can rest). At the top of the hill we reach Rúa de Francos and then Osebe. In O Milladoiro — the name comes from “humilladoiro”, i.e. where pilgrims humbled themselves or kneeled down on catching their first glimpse of the cathedral — we can already breathe Compostela: we go through A Rocha Vella and over the Ponte Vella to cross the River Sar. Here we have two options: to go by A Choupana (by the hospital), the chapel of Santa Marta and down the Rosalía de Castro Street, or through the neighbourhood of Conxo. Both ways come together in the Praza de Vigo. The Way comes into the historical centre through the Porta Faxeira and down the Rúa do Franco. The traditional way for pilgrims from the Portuguese Way to go into the cathedral is through the Praza das Praterías. 18.5 km Caldas de Reis 23 km Pontevedra 18.2 km Redondela 15.2 km Vigo O Porriño Baiona Tui Oia Rubiães Caminha Ponte de Lima 28.6 km Viana do Castelo 18.2 km 33 km 25 km Barcelos Esposende 23 km São Pedro de Rates Vila do Conde 15.5 km What to see The International Bridge of Tui, built of iron in 1884 by Pelayo Mancebo, a student of Gustave Eiffel.
