Travel Planning & Stages
Day 1 – Arrival in Tui (Pontevedra)
We will meet all at 7:00 p.m. at the established meeting point and you will be given your location days before the start of the trip through the whatsapp group or by email.
We will introduce ourselves among the participants and give a talk to tell you what the Stages will be like, answer questions and distribute the Pilgrim’s Credentials (which you must seal during the tour to get the Compostela when you arrive in Santiago) and we will also give you the labels for the transport of luggage.
The Portuguese Way is the second busiest Jacobea route after the French Way. You will begin the adventure in Tui, (town of Pontevedra) gateway to Galicia from Portugal, and you will cross the province of Pontevedra from south to north, discovering in your path agricultural areas of vineyards, orchards, cornfields and lush forests, letting you take the beauty of its villages, the charm of its people and its exquisite cuisine.
You will be impressed to see the Cathedral of Santa Maria, whose fortified aspect dominates the panoramic views of the city. Its historical complex is one of the main attractions of the city and one of the most important in Galicia after Santiago de Compostela. A walk through its cobbled streets will witness the history throughout the centuries, emblazoned houses and monuments among which the Diocesan Museum, former pilgrims hospital, the chapel of San Telmo, the Convent of the Poor Clares and the one of Santo Domingo.
Good Way Pilgrim Runners!
