At BagWay Express, we want your experience to be pure magic.
We’ve selected 5 stages that, due to their beauty, history, or special charm, are a must-do on your Camino Portugués. Get ready to daydream!
1. From Ponte de Lima to Rubiaes: The Challenge with Reward
Considered one of the most demanding stages due to the climb to Labruja, the visual reward is immense. After the ascent, lush forests and rural landscapes envelop you in an atmosphere of peace. Imagine conquering this stage knowing your backpack is already waiting for you at the end. Pure satisfaction! This is where our Backpack & Luggage Transfer on the Camino Portugués truly shines.
2. From Redondela to Pontevedra: Estuaries and Maritime Tradition
This stage is a gift for the senses. Starting from Redondela, you’ll embark on a path that winds alongside the Vigo Estuary, offering spectacular views of the Atlantic. Then, it leads you to the charming Pontevedra, a city with a vibrant old town. The sea breeze and history intertwine, and without the weight, every photo and every breath feels more special. Our luggage transport makes it easy.
3. From Caldas de Reis to Padrón: Land of Legends and Thermal Waters
A relatively easy but charming stage, full of allure. Caldas de Reis, famous for its thermal waters, invites you to a moment of respite. The path continues through vineyards and villages to Padrón, the alleged birthplace of St. James and home to the famous Padrón peppers. It’s a stretch to savor authentic Galician culture, and with your Backpack & Luggage Transfer on the Camino Portugués, you’ll only have to worry about enjoying it.
4. From Barcelos to Ponte de Lima: The Rural Heart of Portugal
This section plunges you into the most rural and authentic essence of Portugal. You’ll walk paths dotted with vineyards, small villages with Romanesque churches, and cross medieval bridges. Barcelos, with its legendary rooster, and Ponte de Lima, with its impressive Roman bridge, are the perfect finishing touches. Without the weight of your luggage, every landscape is enjoyed from a different perspective.
5. From Valença do Minho to Tui: The Gateway to Galicia
Although it’s a short stage, its beauty and symbolic importance are undeniable. Crossing the imposing international bridge over the Minho River, leaving Portugal behind to enter Galicia and the historic city of Tui, is an emotional moment. The views of the river and both cities from the bridge are spectacular. With Backpack & Luggage Transfer on the Camino Portugués, you can etch this moment into your memory without feeling the strain.
