    Hiking

    Detour for different routes on the way to Santiago.

    Hiking

    At this point you can choose between the historical and an alternative route of the Way of St. James. For the historic route you should be good on foot, the descent to Portomarín is very steep and impassable (not comparable to the previous section of Sarria coming).

    Hiking

    It depends on how good you are on your feet. The historical path is quieter but also more demanding
