RelaxationRest Your LegsO Porrino is not a town of monuments or must-see sights. It is a place to rest. The stage from Tui has some punishing hills, and if you walked the full distance from Valenca, you have been on your feet for a long time. Have a hot shower, wash your clothes, and eat a good dinner. The Camino is not always about beautiful towns. Sometimes it is about practical ones that give you what you need to keep walking.

O Porrino is an industrial town on the Camino Portugues Central route, between Tui and Redondela. The approach through an industrial zone is widely considered one of the least appealing stretches of the entire Camino Portugues.
Despite the industrial surroundings, the town centre has basic services for pilgrims including an albergue, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and a pharmacy. The Praza da Constitución and the Casa Consistorial in the town centre are pleasant enough.
Many pilgrims push through O Porrino without stopping, while others use it as an overnight stop to break the long walk between Tui and Redondela (31.5 km combined). The route improves significantly after leaving the town, heading into forested hills towards Redondela.

RelaxationWalk to the Praza do CristoThe main square has a church, a small park, and benches under trees. After a day of walking through hilly terrain and some industrial outskirts, the square is a welcome piece of green space. Sit with an ice cream or a coffee and watch the town go about its evening. Tomorrow you walk to Redondela, one of the prettier towns on the route.
FoodEat in the Town CentreO Porrino has several restaurants and tapas bars around the main square and the surrounding streets. The food is standard Galician fare: pulpo, empanada, caldo gallego, and grilled meats. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. The bars around the Praza do Cristo are the social centre of the town and fill up in the evening.
