Camino Portugués
10.8 km, 210 m up and 207 m down, through 3 places, 2 of which have somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Ameirolongo - Fonte do Chan. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
After passing the large boulder on your right, arrows may indicate keeping on straight or turning left. Both will eventually take you across the N550 (exercise extreme caution) and into the hills. Turning left immediately after the boulder will require less walking along the busy road.
A bar-kiosko next to the albergue, but that's the extent of services. The hamlets run together along this stretch of the Louro Valley — the granite quarrying industry that feeds O Porriño's growth is visible in the massi…
If you have the option of staying in Veigadaña or staying in Mos for the night, the latter is recommended for its charm.

The camino goes straight across the road and begins the descent into Redondela, passing through Villar and Saxamonde. Keep an eye open for the Roman milestone after crossing the road.
On the approach to Redondela, you will walk along the N550 for a stretch of about 600m. Do your best to cross to the right-hand side as soon as the opportunity presents itself; the official turn is along a curve in the road which is problematic.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 111 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 10.2 km.
