Day 3: Vigo – Redondela 18 km 

Today, during your Camino Portugues along the coast, you will see the industrial part of the city in Vigo. Relatively much for such a small city. It is therefore not the most beautiful part of your pilgrimage. The rest of the stage you will walk across beautiful beaches and some small Galician villages. Later you’ll walk along a road for a short while, but the scenery around it makes it worth it. Today you will see little else, but you can once again enjoy the view of the Galician coast.

This is the last stage of the Camino Portugues along the coast! You walk through several villages with many church buildings. This stage is clearly divided into two parts, uphill and downhill.
