Your legs still feel fresh and your head is half still in Fisterra. That’s perfectly fine. This first day is light: a few ups and downs, but no climb that takes your breath away. You’ll be there in almost four hours. That’s plenty of time to settle into the rhythm of this route.

The path follows quiet roads and tracks past small villages. The highest point is nothing much, although you’ll feel the hills in your calves towards the end. Lires suits the day: small, quiet and unhurried. Rucksack off, boots off, the afternoon is yours. Don’t rush, the sea isn’t going anywhere.

Tips for this stage

  • Take water and a snack with you from Fisterra for the road.
  • It's your first day: take it easy while you break in your boots and rucksack.
  • You'll arrive in Lires early. Use the afternoon to do some washing and rest.
