Information
Today we again have a short stage from Rubiães, which is fantastic, as it gives us the opportunity to spend some time getting to know Tui. It is one of the most classic and iconic stages of the Portuguese route, as this stage is where you finally enter Galicia. It is for this reason that the most iconic part of the route is the international bridge, a marvel of iron architecture. Throughout the day, you will enjoy the beautiful surroundings and landscapes of the Fortress of Valença do Minho the river Minho and the historical centre of Tui.
You leave the calm of Rubiães behind, heading for Tui. Along the way wait the sanctuary of São Bento da Porta Aberta, with its azulejo tile panels, and above all Valença do Minho: don't leave without climbing its spectacular Fortress and looking out over the international bridge, with Tui as a postcard backdrop. You cross the Miño and enter Tui, with its sprawling old town and imposing cathedral. You're already in Galicia.
