Caldas de Reis → Padrón
A stage of the Camino PortuguésPortugués Coastal
The 17.8 km walk from Caldas de Reis to Padrón is one of the most serene final approaches on the Camino Portugués, following the Umia river valley through lush Galician countryside. With minimal elevation change the path is genuinely easy underfoot, and it rewards walkers with a gentle arrival in Padrón — the town where, according to tradition, the boat carrying St. James's body first came ashore.
