Orthez-Sauveterre

This stage joins the Primitivo Way with the French Way. The route is a continuous up and down through rural Galicia. Arrival in Melide, land of the octopus, is a moment of great emotion, as here pilgrims from both routes meet. It's a day to enjoy the company of other pilgrims and look forward to arriving at Santiago. It's an intermediate stage that marks the beginning of the final stages of the journey.
