Stage Description

18 km stage along the coast of Lugo, a comfortable day with a moderate profile. The route leaves Viveiro and follows the line of the Bay of Biscay along coastal paths and rural roads, with views of Coelleira Island and the cliffs of Punta Roncadoira. O Vicedo is a small fishing village at the bottom of a protected estuary, with quiet beaches and traditional seafaring architecture. Transition stage before the wildest part of the route.
The stage from Caldas de Reis to Padrón is a short 18 km journey that brings the pilgrim to Santiago's finish line. The path starts in Caldas de Reis (20 m) and follows a mostly flat profile, with a gentle descent towards Padrón (10 m). The route passes through a beautiful landscape, with forests and fields of cultivation. It is an enjoyable walk that allows you to appreciate the scenery and the tranquility of the surroundings. The arrival in Padrón, cradle of Jacobean tradition, is a loaded finale of symbolism. This stage combines gentle exercise with rich historical experience, a perfect balance on the Portuguese Way.
