-2,411 ft
10h 15
Moderate
Departure from Baleira (Lugo)
This stage runs through rural Galicia, with at least seven villages en route and plenty of places to stop for a rest (or even to stay the night if you want to split this stage into two or three mini-stages). Likewise, there are plenty of chapels, churches and fountains to visit. Our route follows the original way to Vilabade, which includes a visit to the church of Santa María, known as the "catedral de Castroverde".

8h 45
Moderate
Departure from A Fonsagrada (Lugo)
The route is a delight with a succession of descents and ascents surrounded by domesticated rural scenery. If the weather is kind, this stage is as enjoyable as any other and much easier on the feet that the previous stage. This is authentic Galician hinterland with a warm welcome from folk all the way along the trail.
Tenth Stage Camino Primitivo - Lugo to A Ponte Ferreira
16.49 mi
+1,670 ft
-1,476 ft
9h 00
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.
Seventh Stage Camino Primitivo - Grandas to A Fonsagrada
15.85 mi
+2,897 ft
-1,624 ft
9h 50
Moderate
Departure from Grandas de Salime (Asturias)
This stage starts gently but soon becomes tougher as it ascends to the border with Galicia. This is where we say goodbye to Asturias and begin our journey across Galicia towards Santiago de Compostela. This is a long day but full of interesting encounters with people and places along the way. The change of region is also noticeable in the markings and villages the route goes through.
