About this stage
Even though there are still three stages to go until we reach Compostela, today’s is the last one that belongs purely to the Northern Way, since once we arrive in Arzúa, we will merge with those pilgrims coming from the French and Primitive ways. This means that we should relish the walk, enjoying the quietness of the Atlantic forests and the peace of the country paths.
Recommendation Pilgrim
Like the previous two, this stage also presents no difficulties for cyclists and people with reduced mobility. However, those who prefer to connect with the Camino Francés earlier can take the CP-0603 in Boimorto instead of continuing towards Sendelle, as far as O Pino.
