Triacastela
Lug in the French Way that offers the pilgrim the first major decision in Galicia: to take the beautiful detour of Samos or the shorter route to St. Silo.
Discover Triacastela
Triacastela, whose name evokes "three castles", is a historic village nestled in a lush valley, being a key stop after the descent of O Cebreiro. This Lucense town is known for being the point where the Camino Francés splits off, offering the pilgrim two options to continue their journey. One route diverges south to visit the impressive Monastery of Samos, one of Spain's most important monastic centers. The other, shorter and more direct, crosses the green hills of San Xil. This decision marks the experience of the following days. Triacastela, with its Santiago church and a good range of services, is the ideal place to rest, enjoy local cuisine and plan the next stage in rural Galicia's heart.
