About this stage
Only two stages left! This is probably the easiest one so far, at just over 19 km and with little complication. Stage 4 runs through quiet service roads, passing through forests and crossing meadows at a fairly even elevation. The only difficulty today is that we´ll cross the national road several times.
Recommendation Pilgrim
It is an easy stage for everyone including cyclists and people with reduced mobility. All sections of this stage are in good conditions.

Km 0 ‧ Arzúa
We wll leave Arzúa along the Rúa do Carmen and down a cobbled pathway. Along the way, and after crossing the N-547 through and underpass, we´ll pass small villages such as Pregtoño and A Peroxa. After continuing on for just over a kilometer through a delightful forested stretch of walnut and oak trees, we reach As Quintas. We forge on in the same direction and pass through A Calzada and then Ferreiros. We´ll then take a dirt track marked on the right-hand side of the road and remain on this road until Salceda.

Km 11,3 ‧ Salceda
In Salceda we can rest and replenish, as there are several services here. Once back on the path, we will continue on until crossing N-547 and reaching A Brea.
Km 13,2 ‧ A Brea
As we leave A Brea, we´ll hike parallel to the national road and, after passing through O Empalme, take a path to the right that will lead us to Santa Irene.
Km 15,9 ‧ Santa Irene
Upon arrival in Santa Irene, the pilgrim hostel will be on the right and the village, where you´ll find many services, on the left. We´ll pass in front of the lodge and then descend to cross the national road through an underpass. Next, we will reach A Rúa, the last town before reaching O Pedrouzo and the end of today´s stage.
Km 17,7 ‧ A Rúa
We´ll arrive to A Rúa walking parallel (again) to the national highway, and pass through without leaving the route. We´ll have to head back across the road to place ourselves on the left side and take service path until we reach O Pedrouzo. We will head into the town by the roadside, since it passes through the center and this is where the majority of catering and accommodation services are clustered. Here, we´ll end Stage 4 and rest – only one day left to finish our Camino!
