Elche of the Sierra to Riópar

This short stage joins two of the most important villages on the Camino in Galicia. The route is a continuous rise and fall through a rural landscape of great beauty, with forests and villages. The highlight is arriving at Melide, where the French Way meets the Primitivo. Melide is an obligatory stop to taste its famous "pulpo á feira". It's a day to enjoy the pilgrim atmosphere and local cuisine.
