About this stage
In this stage we will have the opportunity to appreciate one of the best views of the Vigo estuary, as we will walk along a path over the Senda da Traída das Augas. Moreover, this is the last stage before entering stage 22 (Redondela – Pontevedra) of the main Portuguese Way, which we leave many kilometres behind in the town of Oporto.
Recommendation Pilgrim
The only ‘worry’ that may plague you in this last stage of the Portuguese Way along the coast, is to find the yellow arrows that indicate the Way to Santiago, but don’t worry, follow the Rúa Urzaiz and after the Calvario market in the fourth street on the left you will find them.

We leave Vigo along one of its main arteries, Calle Urzaiz. After crossing it in ascending direction, we will pass the Plaza de Fernando el Católico, the Av. Alcalde Gregorio Espino and we will reach the corner of Urzaiz with the Rúa de Toledo, where we will meet again the yellow arrows after finishing the previous journey following green arrows as something exceptional in our trip. We pass next to the Church of Los Picos following Toledo Street, which we leave on the left to take Cantabria Street, from where we will start to see the first panoramic views of the Vigo estuary. After leaving the Fuente da Pouleira behind us, we will continue along the asphalt along the Camiño Pedrosa and the Camino da Traida das Augas. For just over 2 km we alternate between dirt and asphalt stretches until we pass by a small waterfall, cross the road and go up a paved track. Follow the
