Stage Description
First cycling stage of the Central Portuguese Way from the border with Portugal. From Tui we cross the Louro River and go through the industrial area of O Porriño (with a river detour recommended to avoid traffic). The route continues through Mos and Alto de A Madalena, where we gain altitude before descending to the valley of Redondela, overlooking the Vigo estuary. After Redondela, the route skirts the estuary passing through Arcade, famous for its oysters, crosses the medieval bridge of Pontesampaio (scene of a battle against the Napoleonic troops) and reaches Pontevedra, capital of the Rías Baixas with one of the best preserved historic centers in Galicia. About 52 km of stage with undulating profile and varied road surface.
