Portuguese Camino Day 5: Valença to Redondela

The Concello de Tui (Town Hall of Tui) — a striking neo-Gothic building from the 19th century, located in the heart of the old town.

On Day 5, Andrea and I walked together from Valença to Redondela, crossing the border into Spain. Our first stop was in Tui, where we admired its grand architecture — from the neo-Gothic Town Hall to the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral. It was a long and meaningful day, walking side by side, sharing stories, and soaking in the changing landscapes.

I stayed overnight in Redondela. I will write the full story for this stage after completing the GR20 on 11 June. In the meantime, here are a few photos from the day’s journey.

The Catedral de Santa María de Tui — a 12th-century Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, one of the most important religious landmarks on the Camino Portugués.
