Route description From Spain, the fastest way is driving to Galicia to Vigo. Coming from the north of Galicia you pass Vigo, coming from the east, just before Vigo you go into the direction of Tui and Portugal. From this border the best thing to do is to stop your navigation system and follow our route, written underneath (coming from Spain).

If you go by plain to Porto and rent a car, you can follow our route written underneath (via A28).

If you come by public transport you can switch to our page Links.

When you enter Candemil, be sure it is Candemil in Vila Nova de Cerveira. In Portugal names of towns are used more than once.

When you enter Rua de Badão 1, you might try Rua do Badão 1 (in the TomTom).

Coming from Spain the navigation system might give you the last 2 km a scenic route over a small, steep road. For motorhomes and caravans it is more comfortable to follow our route description written down below, starting at the border.

There are 3 different ways to write GPS-codes: GPS, degrees, minutes and seconds or degrees and minutes, and in Decimals. For a good explanation or conversion search in Google

A roadmap of Portugal older than 1 or 2 years is not up to date due to many changes in the infrastrucutre. Mainly roundabouts.

In Portugal people pay little road tax. Therefor we have toll roads. There are 2 systems. In our region this means

• The A3, in the direction of Braga, which is the French system. You take a ticket at the beginning and pay at the end. Attention: often credit cards don't work.
• The A28 (only after Viana do Castelo, 40 km from here) in the direction of Porto. The first petrol station after Viana do Castelo on the A28 gives the opportunity to registrate yourself. A picture is taken of your matricula and you put your credit card to register. Then, you can use the electronic toll roads for a month.

People with a rental car will have a device.
