The Town

Discover Arzúa

Arzúa, a town in the heart of Galicia, is one of the places with the deepest Jacobean spirit on the entire Camino de Santiago. Its importance is paramount, for it is the great junction where the massive Camino Francés converges with the routes arriving along the Camino del Norte and the Camino Primitivo. This makes it a melting pot of pilgrims, a place where accents and stories from every part of the world mingle, creating a unique atmosphere of camaraderie. Arzúa is also famous for its cheese, protected by the Arzúa-Ulloa Designation of Origin, a mild, creamy delicacy every walker should try. The town is fully devoted to the pilgrim, with an immense range of albergues and services designed for rest and recovery. Local heritage includes the church of Santiago and the Magdalena chapel. For the pilgrim, reaching Arzúa means feeling that the goal is now very close; it is the penultimate great milestone before Santiago. It is an essential stop to regain strength, enjoy the atmosphere, and savor the most authentic Galicia.
