Ponte de Lima → Valença

The last stage on Portuguese soil before crossing into Spain. The path climbs through forested hills with views of the Minho valley. You pass through Rubiães, with its Romanesque church, and Fontoura. Valença do Minho is a 17th-century walled fortress town that dominates the Miño river from above. From its walls you can see Tui on the other side, in Spain. Crossing the International Bridge marks the entry into Galicia.
