O Porriño es el corazón del sector industrializado de Galicia y lo ha sido durante siglos, la zona es rica en granito.

History

El hijo más querido de O Porriño es el afamado arquitecto Antonio Palacios. Era aficionado a utilizar el granito local como material de construcción, cuyo mejor ejemplo es el Palacio Municipal del centro de la ciudad. El apellido Palacios aparece en varios edificios y monumentos de la ciudad.

The Road

El camino sale de la ciudad por la N550. En el extremo norte de la ciudad, cruzarás una rotonda, manteniéndote a la derecha. Pronto la carretera pasa por debajo de la autopista, y el camino sale de la carretera inmediatamente después. Tras pasar por debajo de la autopista, busca a tu derecha un túnel que pasa por debajo de la rampa de salida. Te llevará a Ameirolongo.

If I want to stay overnight in Vigo instead of Porrino, what are the most convenient way of public transportation?

As you leave O Porrino the edge of town has a walking bridge in construction but the markers do not give a good clear way to the detour.

Leaving porriño at the roundabout there is a Camino sign that appears to point right up a dirt path. I followed the wisepilgrim map instead and went straight though the roundabout following painted arrows on the ground. Other pilgrims went up the dirt path, but it appeared to lead to a rec area instead of the Camino in my opinion.

If you do stop in Porriño, pension cando is a very clean and central place. It’s basically a large apartment with a number of rooms that are rented out. It has a small shared kitchen with kettle, microwave , fridge, and a laundry area to rinse/wash clothes. The bedroom was roomy, clean and tidy. All fine for 2 pelegrinos.

I would not recommend to stay in this town. It is loud and not really welcoming. Not much places to chill.

am ende von o porrino zeigt der offizielle wegweiser einen zuerst rechts zurück und dann steil nach oben über die autobahn führenden weg an. nach überquerung der autobahn führt der weg wieder nach unten und 20 schwitzende minuten später ist man wieder unten, höchstens 50 m vom ausgangspunkt.
also: einfach ignorieren und geradeaus weiter gehen.

Agree with the other prilgrim - not worth a stop. the town is boring and not with anything interesting to do. Would not stay here again. With that said, I stayed at Senda Sur and had a very fine and relaxing experience there.
