Camino-Portugal – Day # 7 – Mos
Tui to Mos
Distance – 25 Kms. Difficulty 6 /10
Today we leave the Village of Tui & arrive at the village of Mos. I recall that after my first hike from Tui to Redondela, I thought this distance from Tui to Redondela was too long. So I split this hike portion into 2 days. I now stop at the village of Mos. The hike to Redondela involves crossing a steep mountain range with uneven terrain to reach to the other side of the coast. There are forest and road paths that lead into Redondela. In summary, the hike after Tui has forests, roads, an industrial path, and more forest and road paths, and a complete mountain range. Mos has a municipal albergue and there is a restaurant. It is a good midpoint to complete the day.
The advantage of staying at Mos is a shorter hiking distance & delaying the mountain range hike with the benefit of an early arrival to Redondela the next day. The albergues at Redondela tend to fill up early afternoon. So an advantage of staying at Mos is an earlier arrival at Redondela at mid day. Redondela has several good albergues with facilities to wash clothes. The hike to Mos is a good stop to call it a day.
