The walking schedule
In order to reduce three fairly long stages of up to 31km, we have added an extra 3 days to this walk making it a 9 day walk 1. Ferrol - Neda 15.4km This first stage starts in the city of Ferrol. You will enjoy the architecture and the parks of this city as we have an easy first day to Neda. 2. Neda - Pontedeume 13km We start our day next to the Ferrol estuary, passing churchs and catching glimpses of the see. Pontedeume was founded the Alfonso X the Wise in 1270. The village has some interesting monuments (old palaces, churches and forts) which are well worth discovering. 3. Pontedeume - Miño 9.5km Today we will pass the Andrade castle, the Baxoi bridge and the mouth of the river Lambre. Miño is a lively town with bars, restaurants and all kinds of services either in Porto de Abaixo or in Playa de la Alameda. 4. Miño - Betanzos 10.5km Betanzos is the capital of one of the seven provinces that make up the old Kingdom of Galicia, which is worth visiting and enjoying its streets and historical monuments 5. Betanzos - Presedo 14km The next stage is quite demanding as it is a winding route with many slopes and undulations, 6. Presedo - Bruma 15km This is a challenging stage with a 700m elevation gain. Once you reach the highest point you continue through Mesia to arrive at Hospital de Bruma where the albergue was built on the site of an old pilgrims’ hospital. 7. Bruma - Poulo 12km This section gradually descends for 12 km until reaching Poulo in the municipality of Ordes. 8. Poulo - Sigüeiro 12km The penultimate stage of your walk consists of a 12 km walk from Poulo to Sigüeiro, a lovely town in the municipality of Oroso. 9. Sigüeiro - Santiago de Compostela 16.5km The 16,5 km of the last stage of the Camino passes through natural landscapes with the river Tambre and a long, flat section through a forest. |
