Information
It is wonderful to have such a short stage during this day. In this way, we have the opportunity to have much more time to visit Pontevedra. Today's stretch provides us with a very pleasant walk from Arcade to Pontevedra, during which we will learn about relevant facts from history. Are you ready?
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 leave Arcade crossing the historic Pontesampaio bridge, the site of the battle against Napoleon's troops in 1809. Afterwards you walk the evocative Roman road of the Brea Vella da Canicouva, with its great stone slabs, through woods and villages. The stage ends in Pontevedra, for many the prettiest city in Galicia: lose yourself in its cobbled streets and squares before resting.
