Information
A historic city on the Way of Saint James, it captivates with its medieval cathedral, its cobbled streets and views of the Miño river, surrounded by nature and tradition.
You are facing the hardest stage of your entire Portuguese Way. After passing through Ponte de Lima, where you can make your first stop of the day, you will face the ascent of the Labruja pass; a particularly tough stretch for cyclists due to the complexity of the terrain. If you don’t want to push your bike uphill, you can take a road variant that climbs the pass on asphalt and will make the ride much more bearable. After passing the main challenge of the day you will reach Rubiaes, a small village where we recommend you to stop at the Café São Sebastião to get your strength back. From here only 20 kilometres separate you from the end of the stage. You can make the last stop of the day in Valença do Miño before crossing the Spanish-Portuguese border and arriving in Tui, the end of the stage. We are aware that this stage can be a bit long for less experienced pilgrims. That’s why you have the option of splitting it by adding an extra night to your trip and staying overnight in the beautiful town of Ponte de Lima; making the mileage much more affordable.
