This emblematic chestnut tree, which is located in the middle of the Jacobean route, specifically on the French Way, is more than 800 years old. It has become an iconic place that many pilgrims want to remember by taking photos.

This tree is 800 years old and with its size and thickness it is always worth a break!

Hiking

In the small town of Ramil, at the foot of the Camino, stands one of the most beautiful hundred-year-old chestnut trees in Galicia. Its trunk measures 8.5 meters and looks like an X-ray of time, with its cavities and thick branches that seem to hug the tree.
