Difficulty level:
This variant of the Camino de Santiago from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela with Melide, in particular with the division of the stage from Palas de Rei to Arzúa with the stop in Melide, does not require much effort from the pilgrim. In any case, it must be taken into account that not all feet are used to running an average of twenty kilometers for several days in a row. It is therefore recommended to exercise a little before starting the hike and, above all, to wear the right footwear. The beautiful Galician landscapes with their lush forests will no doubt compensate us.
¡BUEN CAMINO!
