Located at the entrance to Triacastela, this wooden sculpture depicts a classic pilgrim with a staff, cloak, and hat. It's one of the most photographed spots on the Camino as it passes through this town. A work of local craftsmanship, it pays homage to the thousands of pilgrims who have passed through this historic Galician village, which was one of the first documented stops on the Camino de Santiago route. A good excuse to stop, stretch your legs, and take a symbolic photo before entering the town. From here, decide whether to continue along the San Xil route (shorter and more mountainous) or the Samos route (longer and with a monastery). Both routes are beautiful, but very different.

In the small village of Ramil at the foot of the Camino, just before Triacastela, stands one of Galicia's most beautiful century-old chestnut trees. Its trunk spans 8.5 meters and, with its hollow spaces and thick branches that seem to embrace the tree, resembles an X-ray of time.

Large deciduous tree that is common in the mountains of Galicia. The fruits are covered with a green rind with thorns, the "erize". The season for harvesting chestnuts is November, and in Triacastela and throughout Galicia in general it is celebrated with a festival called "magesto". The main use of the chestnut tree is to obtain its wood and use its fruit as food for the population in general and as food for livestock.

Walk right to get to Sarria, walk left to add a night in Samos.

This impressive tree is over 800 years old. A true natural monument.

At the end of the Rúa de Peregrino in Triacastela, the Camino de Santiago forks, offering two main routes to reach Sarria: San Xil Route: This is the historic and most direct route, which crosses the San Xil valley, passing through picturesque villages and rural roads. Samos Route: This variant is a little longer and passes through the Benedictine monastery of Samos, one of the oldest in Spain. Both routes have their charm and offer different landscapes and experiences.😎🚶‍♀️😊

The Ermita del Carmen in Vilabade, Lugo, is a charming temple located on the Camino Primitivo. It is part of the parish of Santa María de Vilabade and is located on the slopes of the Castroverde valley, surrounded by meadows and forests of chestnut trees, oaks and pines. This church, restored in 1988, is known as the Castroverde Cathedral due to its imposing presence. A corner full of history and beauty! 😊

The so-called “Castroverde Cathedral” is actually the church of Santa María de Vilabade, a small parish three kilometers from Castroverde. It is located on the Primitive Way, although not all pilgrims pass through here, because there are two routes to complete the stage that goes from O Cádavo to Castroverde. However, it is worth choosing this route to visit this eclectic church.
