Origin of the Portuguese Way from Tui
The Portuguese Way, which extends from Tui to Santiago de Compostela, is steeped in history. Although this route mainly crosses Portugal, it also plays an essential role in the history of Spain. It was Saint Isabel of Portugal, wife of King Don Dinís, who made the first pilgrimage in 1325 to Santiago.
From that moment, many pilgrims joined this path. In fact, a street in Santiago de Compostela bears the name of the Queen, and it is said that it was on that same street where she stayed, like any other pilgrim.
The Way from Tui underlines that the tradition and history of the Camino de Santiago are deeply connected with Portuguese history. It is a cultural and historical event that transcends the borders of Spain and Portugal, linking the entire Iberian Peninsula.
In addition, we must not forget that, from its beginnings, the Way was not only a religious route, but also an important commercial road, marking the end of the famous Silk Road in Europe, specifically in Spain.
Therefore, since the discovery of the remains of the apostle Santiago in the year 813, the Portuguese Way from Tui has acquired great relevance, not only religious, but also cultural and historical.
