Stage Description

Known as the "pilgrim's anxiety stage", this journey is the precursor to Santiago. It's a relatively short and gentle route with soft undulations that mostly follow forest trails through eucalyptus forests. The atmosphere is one of pure emotion and camaraderie, with pilgrims sharing the anticipation of their impending arrival. The path passes by small villages like Salceda or A Brea. The destination is O Pedrouzo, a modern town that has grown at the pace of the Camino and offers all services for the final night.
