This first stage is probably the hardest of the entire route. You enter Spain via the International Bridge over the River Miño, whose side platform offers an excellent view of the historic centre of Tui, St. Mary’s Cathedral and the old hospital for the poor and the pilgrims, together with St. Elmo’s Chapel, a walk that submerges the pilgrim in the history that the city walls harbour. You continue on your way following well-sign-posted detours and paths that run parallel to the motorway to enter Ribadelouro and immediately continue through a leafy, pleasant valley, until you reach an important industrial area, the gateway to O Porriño, where you can admire the historic quarter.

We leave Redondela past the Chapel of Las Angustias over the railway bridge, and head through a wooded area to Setefontes and Arcade to cross the historic Ponte Sampaio over the waters of the River Verdugo. We will continue to A Canicouva – along an old cobbled road – towards the city of Pontevedra and its Sanctuary of the Pilgrim Virgin.

On this stage we cover a total of 22 km of medium difficulty over fairly flat terrain. Thus, to reach the end of this route we must first pass through Pontecabras, Alba, Reiriz, Lombao de Maceira, San Mauro, Ponte Balbón, O Ameal and Tivo. Of particular note on this stretch is the Church of San Martín de Agudelo, in Barro, where the hand of Maestro Mateo can be seen, and we finish in Caldas de Reis.
