Day 2:

Walk Sarria - Portomarin. 14.5 miles/23.2kms. The walk between Sarria and Portomarin is one of the quietest and most peaceful of the Camino. During the summer there are plenty of places for lunch and drinks along the way. Overnight in Portmarin

Day 3:

Walk Portomarin - Palas de Rei 15.5 miles/24.8kms. There are several miles of road  walking along this stretch but the roads are quiet and you pass through some small villages  - i.e. the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria in Gonzar is 5 miles into the walk.  There is a lovely Galician cemetery church in Ligonde which is about another 3 miles. Overnight in Palas de Rei

Day 4:

Walk Palas de Rei - Arzua 18 miles/28.8kms. The route takes you to Melide about 4 miles from Palas - this is a pleasant town with a former monastery Church Santci Spiritu, along with a pilgrim hospital and the Church of San Pedro and the church of  Santa Maria as you leave the town. Overnight in hotel in the small town of Arzua

Day 5:

Walk Arzua - Lavacolla 17.5 miles/28kms. The route continues to the small village of Lavacolla where traditionally pilgrims used to cleanse themselves before the final walk into Santiago de Compostela. Overnight Lavacolla

Day 6:

Walk Lavacolla - Santiago 7.5 miles/12kms. The last day's walk is short so pilgrims can arrive in the Plaza de Obradoiro and enter the Cathedral by midday when the pilgrims are blessed. Overnight Santiago (dinner not included)
