Valença's fortress
Valença do Minho is crowned by star-shaped fortifications overlooking the river. From here, the international iron bridge leads across to Galicia.
Tui Cathedral
Tui's fortress-like cathedral dominates the old town on the Spanish side. Remember: Spain is one hour ahead of Portugal, so your watch jumps forward as you cross.
The 100 km mark
Tui is just over 100 km from Santiago, making it the most popular starting point for pilgrims who want to earn the Compostela on the Portuguese route.
