Stage Description

This is one of the longest stages of the Galician stretch, with continuous ups and downs. The path traverses a mosaic landscape of meadows, forests and small villages, crossing numerous streams. The key point of the journey is arriving at Melide, a bustling town where the Primitivo Way meets the French Way. Melide is an obligatory stop to taste its famous "á feira" octopus. After a well-deserved rest, the route continues with a similar profile until Arzúa, another important Jacobean town known for its exquisite cheese with Designation of Origin. This stage is demanding but very rewarding, filled with pilgrim life.
