Your legs almost walk themselves today, while your mind is already a step ahead. It’s an easy day with no real climbing: some rolling terrain, more downhill than uphill, woodland paths and small villages. You’ll be walking for a little over five hours, with plenty of coffee stops to keep it a relaxed stroll.
On this stage the Norte joins the Camino Francés. Same path, same albergues. So it will be a lot busier than you’re used to. Suddenly you’ll see clean boots and fresh rucksacks, and you’ll simply greet everyone. You’ll reach O Pedrouzo without any rush, with time for laundry, a terrace and a short chat about tomorrow. Then you walk into Santiago.
Enjoy these last quiet kilometres.
