Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
This stage is a gentle and pleasant journey that runs through the heart of rural Galicia. The profile is mainly flat, with soft undulations, allowing for a relaxed walk. The route passes through a landscape of Albariño vineyards, eucalyptus forests, and small villages. It's a quiet section, ideal for enjoying nature and the silence of the countryside. The final stage ends in Caldas de Reis, a historic spa town known since Roman times for its curative properties of its thermal waters.
The stage between Pontevedra and Caldas de Reis is a pleasant journey that allows the pilgrim to enjoy the essence of rural Galicia. The path leaves Pontevedra by crossing the Lérez River over the historic Puente do Burgo and enters a landscape of gentle hills. The profile is undulating, but without any notable difficulty. The route runs on dirt paths and trails that cross oak and eucalyptus forests, as well as wine-growing areas of the D.O. Rías Baixas. It's a very pleasant stage for walking, with numerous streams and an atmosphere of great tranquility. You pass through the small village of San Amaro, a good place to take a break. The arrival in Caldas de Reis, by the river Umia, is an invitation to relax. This town is famous for its thermal waters, which flow at more than 40 degrees. The pilgrim can immerse their tired feet in the public hot water fountain of As Burgas, a comforting and free experience. Additionally, the town has spas, a beautiful botanical garden, and interesting heritage. It's a perfect final stage for rest and body care.
