St.James way : The silver route way

Arrival in Ourense (own expense) and accommodation. Free time to enjoy a city full of charm, starting with its incredible hot springs (already appreciated by the Romans).

We will leave Ourense for the well-known Roman bridge (symbol of the city of the burgas) and we will face our 22 km walk until we reach San Cristobo de Rea (charming town famous for its artisan bread that has a protected designation of origin). Accommodation in San Cristobo de Cea.

We left Lalín to face a stage that does not entail too much difficulty, we will cross the Dela River (which gives its name to the region and which was the fief of the powerful Counts of Deza) and after crossing the Tranfontao forest we will arrive at Bandeira where we will finish our stage and we will stay.

Today’s stage (simple and short) will take us to cross the Ulla river that borders the province of La Coruña and Pontevedra and which owes its fame to lamprey fishing (delicatessen appreciated since the time of the Romans). We will finish our stage in Vedra where we will stay.

Today we face our last stage before reaching Santiago de Compostela, crossing villages and forests.We enter the city using part of an ancient Roman road and with the Obradoiro square (km 0 of our pilgrimage) more and more near.

Free day in the city of Santiago de Compostela to discover its squares, the cathedral, the beautiful panoramic view from the Alameda of the old town and its streets. City tour included. Late free to shop, rest or lose yourself in its streets.
