Camino - Portugués
Tui to Santiago – the Camino Portugués (final section)
3rd - 10th September 2025
From €995 per person, including flights
The final section of the Portugués is a bit misleading in that it is all in Spain! You start from the border between Spain and Portugal, where Valença don Mincho in Portugal gives way to Tui in Spain.
The level of difficulty is moderate, but it’s the Camino so expect plenty of hills!
Starting from the Portuguese citadel town of Valenҫa, cross the River Minho into Spain via a bridge designed by Gustav Eiffel. Walk 117km over 6 days to Santiago.

Itinerary
Sept 3rd, Day 1
Fly from Dublin to Santiago. Upon arrival, you are provided with a private transfer to Tui for your overnight stay.
Take the chance to explore the fortaleza in Valença – the old town contained within fortress walls that date from the 13 th century.
Sept 4th, Day 2
Walk 17km from Tui to O Porriño. Collect your first stamp in Spain at Tui cathedral.
Your day finishes in the small town of O Porriño, famous for its “Pink Porriño” granite stone.
Sept 5th, Day 3
Walk 22km from O Porriño to Arcade. Your day involves passing through the picturesque hamlet of Mos before reaching Redondela, a pretty place to stop for lunch.
Arcade is the self-styled Galician home of oysters and is also a chance for you to take a beach stroll to watch the sun go down over the Bay of Vigo.
Sept 6th, Day 4
Walk 13km from Arcade to Pontevedra. Your day starts by crossing the beautiful Roman bridge from Arcade to Pontesampaio.
The short day allows you plenty of time to explore the old city centre of Pontevedra, centred around the Basilica de Santa Maria in Praza Ourense.
Sept 7th, Day 5
Walk 21km from Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis. A quiet day spent mostly on minor country roads allows you the chance to relax in San Amaro on the way to Caldas.
Caldas de Reis (“the thermal springs of the kings”) takes its name from the thermal springs that are still used today.
You will have the opportunity to use the outdoor thermal swimming pool in our accommodation!
Sept 8th, Day 6
Walk 20km from Caldas to Padrón. Passing through possible resting points at Santa Mariña, O Pino and San Miguel, the day finishes up in Padrón, a town synonymous with Camino legend. It is here that the remains of St. James are said to have been taken ashore by his followers.
Padrón is also home to the Pimientos de Padrón - peppers with a random hot surprise that are a local specialty worth sampling!
The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool.
Sept 9th, Day 7
Walk 24km to Santiago. Today is all about reaching your journey’s end. You pass through Escravitude, Anguira de Suso, Faramello and Milladoiro before walking the final couple of kilometres to the cathedral in Santiago.
Set off early to give yourself plenty of time to explore the incredible city of Santiago, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the perfect place to get lost in meandering streets or to sit at a bar and watch the pilgrim world go by!
Evening meal included – to celebrate the achievement of the week gone by!
Sept 10th, Day 8
Free morning in Santiago before returning to Santiago airport for the return flight to Dublin.
