Stage Description

This is a stage of great beauty and Jacobean significance. It's a gentle journey through the Galician countryside, which passes through forests and villages with charm. The path runs over undulating terrain but without difficulties. The journey ends in Padrón, a town of immense importance in the Jacobean tradition. According to legend, it was here, in ancient Iria Flavia, where the stone ship brought the body of Saint James. Visiting the church of Santiago, where "O Pedrón" (the stone anchor of the ship) is kept, is a moment of deep connection with the origins of the Way. Padrón is also the birthplace of notable writers such as Rosalía de Castro and Camilo José Cela.
