Wetlands of Ruidera to Tomelloso

This stage marks the beginning of the epilogue of The Way for many pilgrims. Leaving the Praza do Obradoiro, the route moves away from Santiago and enters rural Galicia. The profile is undulating, with a continuous rise and fall through forests of oaks and eucalyptus. The most notable milestone is crossing the Ponte Maceira, a spectacular medieval bridge over the Tambre River. The final day ends in the village of Negreira, an important service center with an urban palace and lively atmosphere.
