About Redondela

Redondela is a significant milestone on the Camino Portugues, as it is where the Coastal and Central routes merge into a single path for the remaining stages to Santiago de Compostela. Expect to see noticeably more pilgrims from this point onwards.

The town is set on the shores of the Ria de Vigo and is recognisable by its two impressive railway viaducts. The old town has narrow streets, good restaurants, and a lively atmosphere. Redondela is famous for its Festa do Corpus Christi flower carpets, an elaborate annual tradition.

Pilgrims will find a municipal albergue, private albergues, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs, and pharmacies. Note that there are very few services on the walk between Vigo and Redondela, mostly forest and hill walking, so stock up before leaving Vigo.

Things to do

Things to do in Redondela

6 things
RelaxationView the Ria de VigoThe approach to Redondela from the north (if coming from O Porrino) offers stunning views over the Ria de Vigo. The estuary stretches westward towards the Atlantic, with the Cies Islands visible on the horizon on clear days. The Ponte de Rande, a modern suspension bridge, spans the ria in the distance. The combination of water, mountains, and islands makes this one of the most scenic stretches of the Camino Portugues.
SightSee the Railway ViaductsTwo massive stone viaducts arc across the valley above the old town, carrying the railway between Vigo and Pontevedra. The Viaducto de Madrid and the Viaducto de Pontevedra were built in the 19th century and are now iconic landmarks of the town. Seen from below, with trains crossing high above and the old town in the foreground, they create a dramatic urban landscape. Several viewpoints around the town offer different perspectives on the viaducts.
SightExplore the Old TownThe casco historico of Redondela has narrow cobbled streets, granite houses with wooden balconies, and a relaxed atmosphere. The Praza da Constitución is the main square, surrounded by cafes and restaurants. The Igrexa de Santiago (Church of Saint James) has a fine Romanesque portal. The town feels genuinely Galician, with local life continuing around and despite the passing pilgrims.
FoodEat at the 78 Gastrobar (or Similar)Redondela has excellent restaurants and tapas bars in the old town. The seafood is good here, benefiting from the proximity to the Ria de Vigo. Try the mejillones (mussels), the zamburinas (small scallops), or the pulpo. The town also has good wine bars. Galician Albarino from the Rias Baixas is the natural pairing for everything from the sea.
Camino MomentWhere Two Caminos MeetRedondela is where the Coastal and Central routes of the Camino Portugues merge. If you walked the coast (via Baiona and Vigo), you now share the path with pilgrims who walked inland (via Barcelos and Ponte de Lima). Compare stories. The experiences are quite different, but from here the Camino is the same for everyone. The trail is busier now. The social dynamics shift. You are on the final 80 km to Santiago.
