Stage 8. Vigo – Arcade (23 km)

Today we start the last stage of the Portuguese Way along the coast, since when we have reached Redondela, we will join the main Portuguese route. During the trip to Arcade, you will have the opportunity to enjoy one of the best panoramic views of the Vigo estuary.

This stage is part of the Portuguese Way along the coast. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Portuguese Way from Vigo (5 stages), Portuguese Way along the coast from A Guarda, Portuguese Way along the coast from Oporto to Santiago, Portuguese Way from Baiona (6 stages) and Portuguese Way from Baiona VIP.

You say goodbye to Vigo along Rúa Urzaiz and pick up the yellow arrows again heading toward Arcade. The day gives you beautiful views of the Ría de Vigo, the Rego de Fondón waterfall and the climb to the church of San Andrés de Cedeira, before joining the central Camino Portuguese at Redondela. You finish in Arcade, the oyster capital. (From Vigo onward, your kilometres count toward the Compostela.)
