O Porriño- A Good Place For A Break!

Although we had initially planned on walking the full Tui to Redondela stage in one day (33.9 km adjusted for elevation). We decided that it would be far wiser to stop halfway in O Porriño. As helpful as the Brierely guides are, sometimes his stages were longer than we wanted for a single day of walking. There is a wonderful trail along the river just before getting to the city center. Both the municipal albergue and the private Albergue Camino Portugués (where we stayed) are located just as you emerge from the woods. By taking this route, we were able to avoid the industrial zone of the city and we missed having to walk along the highway for several kilometers (another good choice that day). With camera in hand, I strolled through the traffic-free pedestrian downtown and had some fun trying to be a bit artistic with my photographs.
