The inland route crosses the Miño from Valença to Tui. The coastal itinerary enters Galicia at A Guarda and goes through Vigo before Redondela. A booking in Tui and a booking in Vigo belong to different walking plans. Put the branch name next to each booking that precedes your meeting.
Agree on an address in Redondela
Count the walking days from each starting point. If one of you arrives the evening before, consider an extra night in Redondela. Share the address of a property or a specific public meeting point. A town name is surprisingly little use if one person waits on the trail and the other walks straight to their room.
Leave together on the same track
The next official stage goes from Redondela to Pontevedra. Its description also identifies a complementary path around O Pobo. Look at the same map before setting off and pick a meeting point in Pontevedra in case your walking speeds draw you apart for a second time.
Your plan, step by step
- Write A Guarda or Tui on your itinerary.
- Agree on the night and address in Redondela.
- Save the shared stage to Pontevedra.
