Itinerary
Rabanal del Camino – Molinaseca
Set off from a village of medieval character, pass the Cruz de Ferro and descend through mountain scenery to Molinaseca, with its stone bridges and traditional houses.
Molinaseca – Villafranca del Bierzo
The longest stage, through vineyards and centuries-old chestnut groves, to Villafranca del Bierzo, home of the Church of Santiago and the Puente de la Cárcel.
Villafranca del Bierzo – Vega de Valcarce
Trails through lush woodland in a green mountain valley, with stops in villages that have welcomed pilgrims for centuries.
Vega de Valcarce – O Cebreiro
The most demanding stage: a steady climb with panoramic views over the Galician hills up to O Cebreiro and its thatched pallozas.
O Cebreiro – Triacastela
Mountain landscapes and winding paths, past ancient churches such as San Salvador in Padornelo, to the rural charm of Triacastela.
Triacastela – Sarria
Galician green and small hamlets on the way to Sarria, the classic starting point for many pilgrims on the Camino.
O Pedrouzo – Santiago
The final stage, through eucalyptus woods to Monte do Gozo and the last steps into the Plaza del Obradoiro.
