Descripción del proyecto
Mackerel, scomber scombrus in its origin, is a saltwater bluefish between 18 and 50 cm in size. Its body is silvery white and has dark stripes on its back. During the winter it remains at the bottom of the sea without feeding.
Spain is the fourth European country in terms of number of catches and sales. In Galicia it is known as mackerel. It is a spiny fish, so its preparation in tinned form is usually a good idea.
It stands out for…
- High content of Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA)
- High content of vitamins B3, B12 and D
- High protein content
- High in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and selenium
- Source of vitamin A.

In the past, pilgrims coming from Portugal reached the city of Tui by boat across the river Miño, hence this city is known as the «Gateway to the Camino«. However, in 1884 the International Bridge was built between Valença (Portugal) and Tui (Spain), opening a pedestrian crossing that hundreds of pilgrims have crossed every day since then.
In the Cathedral itself you can buy the Pilgrim’s Credential and get the first stamp to get our Compostela (Tui Cathedral does not open its doors until 10:00 am, so if you do not have the Credential, it is advisable to pick it up the day before starting the Camino. The Cathedral is open daily until 20:00 hours).
