Stage
Ease of walking: Easy: mostly paved rural lanes and short stretches of compact dirt tracks with minimal elevation changes.
This short stage leads pilgrims out of the quiet hamlet of Vilarinho along country lanes into the clustered parish of Vila Boa. It is often walked as a gentle warming day with opportunities to meet local residents and see traditional Minho agriculture.
Rolling agricultural fields, hedgerows, scattered oak trees and stone houses give way to views over the Cávado valley.
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
