You walk into O Pedrouzo feeling relaxed in your legs. Tomorrow is the final stage to Santiago, and you can already sense it in the village. There are rucksacks everywhere, and tired, contented faces.
Looking back, this was a gentle day. From Arzúa you follow country lanes, passing through woodland and small hamlets. The path rises and falls softly, with no climb that really wears you out. The scent of eucalyptus is often in the air. You’ll find plenty of places for a coffee along the way, so there’s no need to rush anywhere. At just over 5 hours of walking, you have plenty of time in hand. Use the afternoon to do your laundry and give your feet a rest.
