In addition, it offers the possibility to discover and enjoy the rich Galician culture, gastronomy and nature. From Baiona to Santiago de Compostela, each stage of the route is full of beautiful places to visit. In this post we suggest some plans to do at the end of each stage of this wonderful route.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_3d  vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerbaiona-1024x538.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"Plans for after the Portuguese Way along the coast\" title=\"plans to make it work\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerbaiona-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerbaiona-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerbaiona-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerbaiona-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerbaiona.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/en\/planes-para-despues-del-camino-portugues-por-la-costa\/planesparahacerbaiona\/\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"que_hacer_en_baiona\"><\/span>What to do in Baiona<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Baiona is a medieval and seafaring town that is well worth discovering. We recommend a stroll through the old quarter, which has been declared a Site of Historic and Artistic Interest. Its cobbled streets and historic buildings will take you back in time. Another obligatory stop is the Virgen de la Roca, a monumental sculpture with incredible panoramic views of the coast. A tour of the Monterreal fortress on the Monte Boi peninsula should also be on the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, close to Baiona is the municipality of Nigr\u00e1n, which has extensive beaches such as Playa Am\u00e9rica and Panx\u00f3n, where you can relax, walk along the promenade and have a good swim if the weather permits.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"que_hacer_en_vigo\"><\/span>What to do in Vigo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We arrive in the city of Vigo, where you will finish the first stage of this Portuguese Way along the coast. Vigo has a charming old town full of tapas bars and restaurants. Be sure to try the fresh seafood, especially the oysters at the Mercado de la Piedra. You can also stroll through the central streets of Pr\u00edncipe and Urz\u00e1iz and take a walk through the Alameda Park.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to have beautiful views of the city and the Vigo estuary, you can climb the Castro Mountain, a relaxing place in the heart of the city. On the other hand, you can go to the beaches on the outskirts of the city, such as Samil or El Vao, where you can enjoy the atmosphere and the beautiful Galician sandy beaches.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"que_hacer_en_pontevedra\"><\/span>What to do in Pontevedra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pontevedra is a beautiful city full of history. Discover the Plaza de la Peregrina, one of the most emblematic squares of the city surrounded by impressive architecture and full of life. In this same place you should visit the Church of the Virgen de la Peregrina, which is dedicated to the Virgin who, according to tradition, guided pilgrims from Baiona to Santiago de Compostela. You can enjoy the atmosphere of the historic centre such as the Plaza de la Verdura, Plaza de la Le\u00f1a or A Ferrer\u00eda that will captivate you.<\/p>\n<p>Pontevedra is also home to the city's museum, which houses a large collection of art and archaeology that will give you a better understanding of Galician history. A quiet area for a stroll after a long walk is the Isla de las Esculturas on the banks of the river L\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_3d  vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerislasesculturas-1024x538.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"Plans for after the Portuguese Way along the coast\" title=\"plans for making the sculptures\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerislasesculturas-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerislasesculturas-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerislasesculturas-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerislasesculturas-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacerislasesculturas.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/en\/planes-para-despues-del-camino-portugues-por-la-costa\/planesparahacerislasesculturas\/\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"que_hacer_en_caldas_de_reis\"><\/span>What to do in Caldas de Reis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Caldas de Reis is a thermal village famous for its hot springs. After a long route you can take some time to soak in its beneficial waters and relax your muscles. In addition, the Botanical Garden-Park of Caldas is an ideal place for a relaxing stroll among centenary trees and exotic plants. The Fervenza de Segade is a beautiful spot where the Umia river is located with waterfalls and pools at its best.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the religious heritage, it is worth visiting the church of Santa Mar\u00eda de Bemil, the church of Santo Andr\u00e9 de C\u00e9sar and the church of San Estevo de Saiar, of great historical value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"que_hacer_en_padron\"><\/span>What to do in Padr\u00f3n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Padr\u00f3n is the municipality par excellence of literature and gastronomy. You can visit the Rosal\u00eda de Castro House Museum, where the famous Galician writer Rosal\u00eda de Castro lived, and delve into her literary world. If you follow the Rosaliana route, you can take a tour that will take you to the most emblematic places related to the poetess, ideal for literature lovers.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you want to try the famous padr\u00f3n peppers, you're in the right place; you can try them in many of the restaurants in the area.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"que_hacer_en_santiago_de_compostela\"><\/span>What to do in Santiago de Compostela<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We reach the end of our journey, our goal: Santiago de Compostela. The Cathedral of Santiago is the jewel in the crown. Take time to admire it, visit it, attend the pilgrim's mass and if you are lucky, see the botafumeiro in action. Santiago's old town is also full of history and life. Enjoy its alleys and atmosphere in the cobbled streets of the city centre.<\/p>\n<p>The Mercado de Abastos is also another option to visit, allowing you to sample fresh local produce and enjoy Galician gastronomy. On the other hand, if you're looking to relax after the Camino, the Alameda Park is the ideal place to reflect on your journey with beautiful views of the city and the Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_3d  vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacersantiago-1024x538.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"Plans for after the Portuguese Way along the coast\" title=\"planesparahacersantiago\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacersantiago-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacersantiago-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacersantiago-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacersantiago-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/planesparahacersantiago.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/en\/planes-para-despues-del-camino-portugues-por-la-costa\/planesparahacersantiago\/\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusiones\"><\/span>Conclusions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Walking the Portuguese Way along the coast is an enriching experience that will allow you not only to reach your spiritual destination but also to discover the essence of Galicia at each stage.
