Tui. Your clock is an hour ahead of Portugal here, which is proof enough: you’re in Spain. Behind you lies an easy day of just over five hours’ walking, with more descents than climbs. Let your legs stretch out a little.
Today you share the way with the Caminho Português Central. Same road, same albergues, and a greeting more often from a pilgrim you haven’t met yet. The border isn’t a fence or a barrier, just a bridge over the Miño. Halfway across, you step from Portugal into Spain. On the other side, Tui climbs up the hill and the cathedral looks out over the rooftops like a fortress. You walk into the old town, looking for a seat and something cool. A Cerveza, perhaps.
