However, today we want to find out why the number of pilgrims who decide to start from Valen\u00e7a do Mi\u00f1o, just 3 kilometers away from Tui, is growing. If you are interested in learning more about the history of the Portuguese Way, we invite you to read this article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Valen\u00e7a do Mi\u00f1o is a small border town in the district of Viana do Castelo, in the north of Portugal. It has a defensive wall, still in perfect condition, and undoubtedly is worth a visit. The fortification, wanted by the Lord of Vauban, <strong>S\u00e9bastien Le Prestre<\/strong>, to protect the city from invasions, was rebuilt in 1643 on the basis of the previous walls of the XII century. Its star shape is typical of many other villages.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Disen\u0303o-sin-ti\u0301tulo-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Valenca-do-Mino\"><\/span>Valen\u00e7a do Mi\u00f1o<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This town is separated from the province of Pontevedra, in Galicia, by the <strong>Mi\u00f1o River<\/strong>, a natural border between Spain and Portugal. Pilgrims can cross the border thanks to the <strong>International Bridge of Tui<\/strong>. This construction, which has three transit sections (trains pass over it, cars circulate below, and pedestrians walk on the sides) was completed in 1885. 400 meters long, this iron structure is a true wonder that will allow you to enjoy the spectacular views of the Tui hills!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Valen\u00e7a is well known for its trade in tablecloths, towels and cloths but also for its delicious gastronomy and wine. Do not miss the typical dishes of the local cuisine! We assure you that the portions are very generous and the prices are more than affordable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During your visit to Valen\u00e7a, do not miss some religious buildings of great interest such as the <strong>Church of Nosa Senhora don Anjos , the Chapel of Bom Jes\u00fas with the statue of S\u00e3o Teot\u00f3nio<\/strong>, (first Portuguese saint) and the<strong> Church of Santo Estev\u00e3o<\/strong>. From <strong>Galiwonders<\/strong> we recommend you spending the first night here and starting the Portuguese Way the next day.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stage-1-Valenca-do-Mino-O-Porrino-19-Km\"><\/span>Stage 1: Valen\u00e7a do Mi\u00f1o- O Porri\u00f1o (19 Km)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first stage allows you to reach the wonderful city of <strong>Tui<\/strong>. Here you will be able to visit the imposing 12th century <strong>Cathedral of Santa Maria<\/strong> and the historic center of the town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Disen\u0303o-sin-ti\u0301tulo-3-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tui is a very popular town along the Camino de Santiago. In fact, it is from this medieval town that most of the pilgrims, who decide to walk the Portuguese Way, leave. In the past, its elevated position allowed the city to be defended and nowadays it offers spectacular views of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend you to get lost in the narrow streets of this town characterized by the stone. Here, you will find <strong>Casa Salom\u00f3n<\/strong>, the only Jewish house\u00a0still preserved in Galicia (15th century). The <strong>Convent of Santo Domingo and the Church of San Telmo<\/strong> are also worth a visit. Continuing on an easy path, following the course of the Louro river, we will arrive at the town of O Porri\u00f1o after crossing one of the largest industrial areas in Galicia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, since this route is not particularly attractive, we suggest you to pay attention to the indication and take the alternative route, even if it is slightly longer. Once in Porri\u00f1o, there is plenty of services for the pilgrim. This was the birthplace of the architect <strong>Antonio Palacios<\/strong>, who was extremely important in the construction of many buildings in Madrid, especially in the Gran V\u00eda. In his city, you can admire the <strong>Town Hall<\/strong> building, a very interesting work from a historical-architectural point of view.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stage-2-O-Porrino-Arcade-22-Km\"><\/span>Stage 2: O Porri\u00f1o- Arcade (22 Km)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today&#8217;s stage has few up and downs, not too hard. Today&#8217;s route will take you through the town of <strong>Redondela<\/strong>, a small and quaint fishing village, famous for its Eiffelian-style railway viaducts (the Madrid and Pontevedra ones), and then on to <strong>Arcade<\/strong>. In this stretch you&#8217;ll see for the first time the R\u00eda of Vigo. The views are truly unique!<\/p>\n<p>In Arcade, a town near the sea and the capital of the oyster, you can see the beautiful Roman Bridge over the Verdugo River in <strong>Pontesampaio<\/strong>. After the victory against the French invaders during the <strong>War of Independence in 1809<\/strong>, this place became a symbol of the courage and resistance.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0111-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"pontesampaio galiwonders\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stage-3-Arcade-Pontevedra-11-Km\"><\/span>Stage 3: Arcade- Pontevedra (11 Km)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today&#8217;s stage will take you to <strong>Pontevedra<\/strong> following the Tomeza River. Fortunately, this stage is very short. This will give you the opportunity to get to know better this city that has one of <strong>the best preserved historical centers in all of Galicia<\/strong>. To learn more about Pontevedra, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/portuguese-way\/spirit-variant\/\" rel=\"noopener\">don&#8217;t miss this post.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the must-see visits of the city are the Basilica of Santa Mar\u00eda la Mayor, the Church of San Francisco, the ruins of Santo Domingo, and undoubtedly the<strong> Church of the Pilgrim Virgin<\/strong>, patron saint of the province of Pontevedra and of the Portuguese Way. Our advice is simply to wander the streets of the old town, admire the various squares, dominated by stone and granite, and feel the spirit of the city.\u00a0 Before resuming your walk, don&#8217;t miss the local gastronomy. This unique cuisine, very varied in its offer, will be a great surprise on your way to Santiago.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Gris-Hashtag-Plano-Cafe-Publicacion-de-Facebook-5-min-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"503\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-2\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stage-4-Pontevedra-Caldas-de-Reis-21-Km\"><\/span>Stage 4: Pontevedra- Caldas de Reis (21 Km)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today you will leave Pontevedra by crossing the Burgo Bridge and heading towards <strong>Caldas de Reis.<\/strong> Before entering a more rural landscape, you will pass through some small villages, such as Alba, where you can see the church of 1595 dedicated to <strong>Santa Mar\u00eda de Alba<\/strong>. Continuing along the route, you&#8217;ll cross woods and small rivers and you&#8217;ll be able to rest in <strong>Barro<\/strong>, a typical stop for pilgrims. Here, you will discover a hidden joy: the <strong>R\u00edo Barosa Natural Park,<\/strong> with its waterfalls and mills. A magical place where you can refresh yourself before resuming the Way!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following the path, you&#8217;ll pass several scattered houses with traditional vineyards, until you will reach Caldas de Reis, famous for its thermal waters.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stage-5-Caldas-de-Reis-Padron-19-Km\"><\/span>Stage 5: Caldas de Reis- Padr\u00f3n (19 Km)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Way continues with tranquility through one of the most beautiful and characteristic parts of the Portuguese Way.
