Tuy (Galician pronunciation: [ˈtuj]; Spanish: Tuy) is a municipality in the province of Pontevedra, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It is located in the comarca of Bajo Miño on the right bank of the Miño River, facing the Portuguese town of Valença. The municipality of Tui is composed of 11 parishes: Randufe, Malvas, Pexegueiro, Areas, Pazos de Reyes, Rebordáns, Ribadelouro, Guillarey, Paramos, Baldráns and Caldelas.
Two bridges connect Tuy and Valença: Tui International Bridge (known in Portugal as Valença International Bridge or "Friendship Bridge"), completed in 1878 under the direction of Pelayo Mancebo, and a modern one from the 1990s. Both Portugal and Spain being signatories of the Schengen Treaty, there are normally no formalities in crossing what is the busiest border-point in northern Portugal.
