Woods and country lanes to the monastery.
Tips
Large and little visited, with a Renaissance cloister.
Sleeping in Grijó leaves the walk into Porto for the next morning, with time for the city.
Some pilgrims take public transport through the outskirts of Gaia. It doesn’t affect the Compostela.
Choose how many kilometres you want to walk each day and Suseia splits the route from São João da Madeira to Santiago into stages based on the albergues in each town. Free and without signing up.
