Tui → O Porriño

The first stage of the Portuguese Way on Spanish soil. You cross the International Bridge over the Miño river from Valença (Portugal) to Tui, a Galician episcopal city with an impressive 12th-century cathedral-fortress. The stage is mostly flat, crossing the Louro valley along rural paths through riverside forests, vineyards, and villages with granite granaries. O Porriño is a service town where pilgrims find everything they need to rest and resupply.
