Getting into town and out again is straightforward. There is an alternative route that is signed, which takes you through town closer to the river.

As a city, Redondela has its charms. It sits well inland of the Vigo estuary and is bisected by two massive train bridges.

The Road

When leaving town, the camino crosses the N550 at a bottleneck on the north side of town that is heavy with traffic at all hours. Cross the N550 as soon as you get to it, and almost immediately veer left gently onto a side road.

The arrows from here leave a bit to be desired. They are present, but have been spray painted with a not quite right yellow and at times, they don’t feel legit. Follow them all the same, and as you near Cesantes the stone markers return.

We had a lovely meal here. We were surprised to be the only pilgrims there for two hours, full of locals out for dinner. Great vegetarian options and vegan ones too.

There are now some new looking signs clearly marking the way out of town

If you have time, take a walk along the beautiful path along the estuary. It’s on your left as you pass through the northern end of town. It’s mostly boardwalk for about 1.2km and takes in cute houses and fishing boats along the estuary. We saw nesting nesting swans. It’s really quite lovely and worth seeing. Gives you a whole other perspective of Redondela.

Staying here was like heaven! A little apartment with a double bed, couch, own bathroom, kitchen and Netflix felt like a little escape that rejuvenated the spirit!

There is a beautiful waterfall combined with a very old mill on the southeast of Redondela called Fervenza da Feixa. It is really worth exploring if you are not to tired- maybe a ten minute walk from city center. If you to make it even more memorable , there is a Taparia in one of the old mill building called Muino Vello (old mill). The rustic, special seating is along the beautiful stream. Tapas run 4 to 12 Euro, and are large and excellent. It makes the meal an outing.

Half way between Vigo and Redonella, there is a little cafe with a beautiful view over the bay and the big bridge. It’s called O Eido Vello. Very charming hostess 😉

We ate at the Neuevo Bolero in Redondela. Once you come off the dirt track, you will see it on your LHS, at the roundabout. It looks like a truckers Cafe, but don't be fooled. The food is great as and cheap. They do a Menu del Dia for €10, honestly it great. The guy servicing us is from Brazil and such a lovely person. Just a beautiful experience.
