We leave Santiago to continue our journey to Finisterrae. Grey sky ☁️ and fresh air, you can feel the ocean approaching. After crossing the medieval bridge over the Tambre river, in the middle of the green Galicia, you pedal until you reach the small village of Oliveiroa with beautiful stone houses and many horeos.

Today the drizzle 🌧️ end of Galicia never wanted to abandon us but we pedaled enthusiastically between the greenery and the eucalyptus plantations until we reached the longed-for splendid cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

We start from the 1,340 meters of Alto do Poio which seems like an early winter day: fog, rain and cold 🌨️. After passing the Benedictine monastery of Samos, with a continuous change of landscapes, we reach the shores of Lake Belasar in the middle of the vineyards.

From the vineyards of Bierzo you climb, first comfortably, then more decisively, towards the border between Castile and Leon and Galicia, until you reach the mythical O Cebreiro pass. Another climb through the green Galician forests, until you reach the 1335 meters of Alto do Pohio

We climb to the suggestive Croce di Ferro at 1500 meters above sea level to leave our pebbles brought from home. Then, through moors and expanses of flowering broom, we descend towards the Bierzo. From the mountains to the vineyards, passing through medieval villages and fairytale castles.

We leave Léon with its splendid Gothic cathedral to head towards the beautiful Astorga. The landscape begins to change and the mountains are already visible. Rabanal, our destination today, is already at 1,150 meters.

Short and not tiring stage to quickly reach the beautiful city of Leon. Still endless and flat mesetas even if we always pedal at an altitude of 800-900 meters above sea level.

We start out under a grey sky and pedal over the Galician granite plateaus until we finally descend to the Atlantic Ocean as the sun begins to show itself. In the midst of fantastic views we climb to the Finisterrae lighthouse and km. 0 of the walk. The enthusiasm is sky-high. Ultreya et suseya.
