Tour Overview

This stage of the famous Camino pilgrimage route offer the chance for time starved travellers to walk the final 115kms into Santiago and gain a wonderful appreciation of the historic significance of the route. To be eligible for the official Compostela certificate of completion, which is issued by the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago de Compostela, walkers must walk at least 100kms of the iconic pilgrim route. Walking through mixed landscapes, there are numerous reminders of the pilgrims past who travelled the route including crosses, statues and grain silos. The gates of Galicia lead on to the fabled Santiago de Compostela with its famous cathedral, site of the tomb of St James.

Day 1 : Arrive In Sarria

Make your own way to the first hotel in Sarria. Sarria is located on a hilltop with a river on either side affording you great views of the region.

Day 2 : Walk Through The Hills Of Galicia To Portomarin (6Hrs)

We recommend before leaving town that you take the time to visit the Church of the Convent of La Magdalena. Over the “Meseta Lucense”, the Lugo Plateau, you will pass through many hamlets dotted along areas of cultivated land, grazing pastures and woodlands and view the first “horreos”, typical raised grain silos. A relatively easy walk until your descent, crossing the Dam of Portomarin, where you can see ruins of the ancient flooded village, and on into the town for your accommodation.
Distance 22km/13.7mi

Day 3 : To Palas De Rei (6-7Hrs)

The route takes you through the brooms, with their magnificent fragrance. Along the path you will pass charming hamlets and calvaries. Over this stage you will pass through Ventas de Naron where you can fill your water bottles, over the gentle Sierra de Ligonde, then downhill through Previsa, Lameiros and Ligonde where you will find a church dedicated to the apostle St James. Emperor Charles V stayed here in the modest village of Ligonde, on the 24th of March 1520.
Distance 24km/14.9mi

Day 4 : Leave Lugo Province To Enter La Coruña And On To Melide (4.5Hrs)

Walk today to Melide through the small towns of Coto and Leboreiro. Melide is one of the larger towns along the Galician section of the Camino Trail. We recommend you try the local speciality, ‘Pulpa a Feira’, octopus usually served boiled and cooked with red pepper and paprika.
Distance 14km/8.7mi
*or 7 day option - walk Palas de Rei to Arzúa (combining days 4 & 5) - distance 30km or around 9hrs. Discount applies. Must be requested at time of booking.

Day 5 : To Arzúa (4Hrs)

The terrain becomes much easier today as you walk through the villages of Carballal, San Xuilan do Camino and Lebereiro, and past Eucalyptus trees. You can stop at one of many villages along the way for lunch. Crossing over the River Seco on the Magdalena Bridge you will reach Furelos and continue to Arzúa, in the province of La Coruña.
Distance 14km/8.7mi

Day 6 : Continue To Rúa Or Pedrouzo (5-6Hrs)

Today’s walk will bring you to the small town of Rua which has a population of only 50 people. The walk today is lovely, as you pass large green fields and rural landscapes.
Distance 18km/11.1mi

Day 7 : Arrive Santiago (5-6Hrs)

Today you will pass many ancient sites including monuments, chapels and bridges – all have a story to tell. Follow country lanes and forest paths through increasingly populated countryside. The last day on the trail is always a special one. Continue downhill to the city. Arriving in the fabled Santiago de Compostela there is plenty to see and do – or simply relax and celebrate the end of the journey. Dinner is not included tonight so you can try one of the many restaurants in town.
Distance 21km/13mi

Grading

The walking is graded moderate (3). Daily walks are between 14 and 24km on well marked trails over diverse terrain – from relatively flat to mountainous. This is a well worn path where route finding will be reasonably straight forward (refer below for further details on self guided adventures). The main areas to concentrate on route finding are arriving and leaving towns and cities. The accent is on keeping a steady pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. You will need a good level of fitness to participate fully in this adventure.

What You Carry

As the walks are fully supported you only need to carry a daypack with your daily requirements including wet weather gear, lunch supplies, water bottle, warm top, phone etc.

Weather could not dampen our spirits- incredible experience. Accommodation first class - certainly way above standard the star ratings implied. There are so many signs on the route absolutely no need to download GPs tracking or try to follow daily pace notes. Keen to do another Camino with UTracks.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how smoothly this trip was arranged and how flawlessly it was executed. I loved the experience and upon arrival back in the States, I called to inquire about another trip. I would not hesitate to recommend UTracks to my friends.

We were a group of 4 friends in our late 60s who had planned to do the Camino in 2020 prior to Covid. All our accommodation on the trip was fantastic. Even the one star hotels were extremely clean and had generous breakfasts and dinners. We upgraded our accommodation in Arzua and it was sensational. We had massages for our aching legs in the hotel. We also upgraded the accommodation in Santiago de Compestela and the hotel was beautiful. The baggage transfer went without a hitch. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to experience the Camino with a higher level of comfort than is available to most pilgrims.

I walked the Camino with no expectations, I just wanted to get away and it seemed to be a good choice for being alone, active and still safe. What I got from this trip was so much more. I ended up with scenes of nature, culture, history and my mind automatically cleaned up as I walked. I made peace with whatever decisions I have to make when I’m back. It will be okay. I’m more relaxed now and strangely enough, more organized. And the top bonus is the beautiful friends I gained along the way…

Had a fabulous time. My luggage was always waiting for me to arrive. Accommodation was better than expected. Food was ok. Lots of potatoes and not enough fresh vegetables. Would highly recommend UTracks to friends.

It was so impressive how smoothly it all went. The luggage transfers were so efficient, and in the hotels before we arrived. Most of the hotels were better than expected, one or two were just adequate, but acceptable.
