Stage 22. Tui – O Porriño (18.7 km)

This is a short stage, perfect to admire all the nuances and landscapes it has to offer. The fluvial landscape and the riverside vegetation are the dominant tone of today's day. The road leads us, from Tui, through thick, green and fresh paths next to the Louro river, along the Natural Space of As Gándaras which is part of the Natura 2000 Network and we finish the stage at O Porriño, a small town with a lot of atmosphere, belonging to the metropolitan area of Vigo.

This stage is part of the Portuguese Way. All the details —stages, options and Miguel’s tips— are in our guide to the Camino de Santiago from Tui.

You say goodbye to Tui through the lower part of the old town, beside the Miño, with the postcard view of Tui and Valença joined by the international bridge. The route soon opens onto the natural area of As Gándaras e río Louro, dotted with Roman bridges — the one at Tui, the one at Orbenlle — and riverside trails. At the end you get to choose: the natural stretch along the Louro or the paved one; we recommend the first, which brings you into O Porriño.
