Start walking from Portugal’s fortress border town of Valença and cross the River Minho into Galicia, filled with traditional villages, ancient cities, stunning scenery and delicious food and wine.
Start your Portuguese Way in the border town of Valença where you can explore the old town inside the fortress and admire the views of Portugal’s Minho region before walking across the iron bridge into Spain. Valença’s former rival, Tui, offers a pleasant introduction to Galicia and its tradition of serving tapas with drinks.
Use our recommended detours to stay amid green countryside and look out for the floating mussel farms in the Ria de Vigo lagoon as you approach Redondela. More forest paths lead into the city of Pontevedra, where you can relax in one of the many squares and enjoy a tapa of seafood or Padrón peppers. In the medieval town of Padrón itself, take time to explore the strong connection with St. James before continuing your journey to Santiago de Compostela.
