Other walks in the area

Walking Eleventh Stage Camino Primitivo - Ponte Ferriera to Melide

Association or club
↔20.32 km ↗+314 m ↘-396 m ◔6h 40 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Lugo

This stage goes through more rural landscapes, along small dirt tracks and quite a lot of tarmac with frequent slopes. In general, it's pretty moderate with the opportunity to visit small villages, a few of which have restaurant services. The route finishes in Melide, where we join the Camino Frances.

Walking Twelfth Stage Camino Primitivo - Melide to As Quintas (Burres)

Association or club
↔19.00 km ↗+361 m ↘-415 m ◔6h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Melide (A Coruña)

The route follows the N-547 but using local paths and tracks, sometimes crossing the main road but only walking short stretches of tarmac. The route is a bit up and down, crossing the River Boente and the beautiful valley of the River Iso to reach Arzúa. Then it's a pretty comfortable 5 km as we go along forest tracks, through woods and meadows to reach the albergue at As Quintas.

Walking Tenth Stage Camino Primitivo - Lugo to A Ponte Ferreira

Association or club
↔26.54 km ↗+468 m ↘-409 m ◔8h 55 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Lugo

This stage is the official route and avoids the detour to Friol and Sobrado dos Monxes. There is a fair amount of road walking but if the weather is unkind (i.e. wet and cold) that is probably a blessing. There are a number of villages to go through so plenty of opportunities to chat with local folk along the way. Santiago is getting closer and that will also probably mean more people on the trail but that can also be pleasant and conversation on the road will make the journey more entertaining.
