The earliest tectonometamorphic record of tectonic slices incorporated to the base of an orogen holds the key to understand how an orogen is built. The tectonic pile of the NW Iberian section of the Variscan Orogen includes tectonic slices separated by crustal-scale thrusts. The earliest tectonometamorphic record in the uppermost parautochthon is calculated at 11–14 kbar and 450–500°C (P-T gradient about 13°C/km), suggesting a subduction-related metamorphic recrystallization at lower pressure than the overlying Lower Allochthon. Early conditions calculated in the autochthon (9–10 kbar and 425–450°C; 16°C/km) point to a relatively 'cold' collisional setting. Higher thermal gradients obtained from some sections of the autochthon (11–12 kbar and 700–725°C; 21°C/km) and the Lower Parautochthon (7.5 kbar and 550–700°C; 24–31°C/km), correspond to more advanced and 'hot' stages of collision. New U–Pb monazite geochronology indicates a 318–311 Ma age for the final formation of HT domes in the region. We propose the rapid decrease in P-T gradient (from <10 to 16°C/km) documents a fail to sustain further burial along a regular subduction zone. We consider the subsequent increase in the geothermal gradient (from 16 to 31°C/km) as the culmination of previous crustal accretion and the onset of crustal underthrusting and later processes in a collisional stage. We propose these switches in the early tectonometamorphic record of individual tectonic slices as potential markers to track the transition from subduction to collision in collisional orogens.
