Discover Melide
Melide, an animated village in the heart of Galicia, holds a special place in the Jacobean universe. It is the crossroads of excellence, where the historic and demanding Primitive Way meets the multitudinous French Way. This convergence makes it a hub of pilgrims, a meeting point, celebration, and exchange of experiences. But Melide is world-famous for another reason: its "á feira" octopus. For any pilgrim, stopping at one of its popular taverns to taste this delicacy is almost as important as getting their credencial stamped. Beyond its cuisine, the village boasts an interesting heritage, such as the Romanesque church of Santa María de Melide or the Museum of Terra de Melide. The locality is perfectly equipped with hostels and all necessary services to cater to the large influx of walkers. Arriving in Melide feels like Santiago is already very close, immersing oneself in the purest atmosphere of the French Way and replenishing strength with the best taste of Galicia to face the final stages.
