Trekking Into Tui

Walking across the international bridge from Valença to Tui roughly marks the halfway point on our journey up from Porto. It also marks our entry into Spain and the start of our last 125 kilometers to Santiago. Six days to get to this point! It’s most bitter-sweet to think that we only have six more days before this Camino comes to an end. As you can see in the photo, the view of the Tui Cathedral perched at the highest point in the city is grand. It will take us another 15-20 minutes to weave our way through narrow streets to the top where we’ll spend the night at the Albergue Tui Hostel just steps from the cathedral. It was a rainy evening in a very quite town, but we were still able to enjoy some fine Spanish wine along with their famous cured ham.
