Stage Description

This stage is one of the most crowded on the Camino, as it's the first full day for those starting in Sarria. The route is a continuous up and down through rural Galicia at its most prototypical, along "corredoiras" shaded by oaks and chestnuts. The path is dotted with countless small villages, towers, and crossroads. An important milestone is the milestone at kilometer 100 to Santiago. The stage ends with a descent into the River Miño and crossing of its long bridge to enter Portomarín, a rebuilt village with a singular fortress-church.
