Along the way you will come across the traditional Galician granaries. Once at the gates of Portomarín you will cross the Miño River, under whose waters the old town rests.

Accommodation : Hotel in Portomarin

Breakfast. This stage begins by crossing a pine forest and will take you through a multitude of villages. You will first access Castromaior and then the Ligonde Mountains to gradually descend through the villages of Eirexe and Ligonde to the town of Palas de Rei.

Today we cross Palas de Rei where, in its Church of San Tirso, we will find the oldest seal of the French Way in Galicia. Later we will arrive at San Xulián do Camiño, one of the most beautiful villages on our entire Camino, and through lush forests we will get closer and closer to Melide, our destination today. Before Melide we find the medieval Bridge of Furelos and the Church of Furelos with its curious Christ, who offers his hand to pilgrims.

Our day of the Camino ends in Melide, the octopus town par excellence of the Camino.
