Mos, Santiaguiño and Down to Redondela

A short stage with more climbing than it looks: 15.5 kilometres with 330 metres of ascent and 340 of descent, low difficulty. You leave O Porriño through its northern side, between houses and workshops, and cross the river Louro to climb slowly towards Mos, a parish with a pazo, a church and bars where a stop is tempting even this early, because afterwards the route heads into the hills.

From Mos the climb gets serious for a few kilometres, on a tarmac track through woodland, up to the chapel of Santiaguiño de Antas, high up among oaks. It is the highest point of the stage and a good place to rest before the descent. From there the route drops through Saxamonde among eucalyptus and dirt tracks, with the Vigo estuary appearing now and then between the trees.

The finish enters Redondela beneath the two iron railway viaducts that are the emblem of the town. In Redondela the Coastal and Central variants meet, and from here on the Portuguese Way is a single route. It has everything, and you can tell it is a town of passage with plenty of pilgrim life.

Tips

Stop in Mos even if it is early: it is the last place with bars before the climb and the hill section.

The climb to Santiaguiño is on tarmac with hardly any shade: do it in the cool of the morning.

The descent to Redondela is long and steep: ease the pace and look after your knees, especially with a heavy pack.

Redondela fills up in season with the two variants coming together: book ahead or arrive early.

There are no services between Mos and Redondela: leave Mos with a full bottle.

Walk with me

It crosses where you are with the time, the daylight left, the water, the beds and the notice board. Three things at most: the ones that actually change your afternoon.

It checks GPS every 6 min while you keep it open. GPS drains the battery: if yours is low, switch it off.

Your position is used to answer you and is not stored anywhere.
