The Town

Discover Triacastela

Triacastela, whose name evokes "three castles," is a historic town nestled in a lush valley and a key stop after the descent from O Cebreiro. This Lugo village is known as the point where the Camino Francés forks, offering the pilgrim two options for continuing the journey. One route swings south to visit the impressive Monasterio de Samos, one of the most important monastic centers in Spain. The other, shorter and more direct, crosses the green hills of San Xil. This decision shapes the experience of the days that follow. With its church of Santiago and a good range of services, Triacastela is the ideal place to rest, enjoy the local cuisine, and plan the next stage in the heart of rural Galicia.
