Location Visiting : Ourense, Cea, Lalin, Bandeira, Ponte Ulla, Santiago

Duration Duration : 7 Days / 6 Nights

Day 1: Arrival in Ourense
Arrival in Ourense on your own. (Consult with Petrabax for private car transfer prices from Vigo or Santiago airport or rail station to Ourense). Your information packet containing complete route descriptions, materials and your Pilgrims Passport will be waiting for you at your hotel. We recommend visiting the cathedral and its surroundings, including the thermal springs of As Burgas. Not far the thermal pools of a Chavasqueira and Outariz are very popular among local people and visitors. 

Day 2: Walk Ourense to San Cristovo de Cea. Transfer San Cristovo de Cea to Carballeda (22 KM / 13.6 MI)
Breakfast. Soon after leaving Ourense, the Camino goes upward in a quite demanding ascent. Later the pilgrim will pass through the picturesque villages of Faramontaos, Biduedo and As Casas Novas. Once in Cea we recommend trying its delicious brown bread, the only one under Designation of Origin in Galicia. 

Day 3: Transfer Carballeda to Monasterio de Oseira. Walk San Cristovo de Cea to Lalín (23 KM / 14.2 MI)
Breakfast. We will transfer you back to San Cristovo de Cea to begin the stage. Today a long stage day awaits you to Lalín; and on the Camino you will find the jewel of this stage: the Monastery of Oseira. You can walk the entire stage from San Cristovo de Cea or we can take you to the Oseira Monastery to save you 8 kilometers, if you prefer not to walk so much (transfer in the morning free of charge, it must be requested previously). Upon arrival in Botos (Lalín) we will transfer you from the Camino to the accommodation, in Lalín itself, but somewhat distant from the end point of the stage. 

Day 4: Walk Lalín to Bandeira (25 KM / 15.5 MI)
Breakfast. We will transfer you from your accommodation to the point where you finished the stage the previous day: This stage offers you the beautiful landscapes of Deza, a well-known Galician agricultural region. Since it is a day that is not so hard in terms of kilometers, you will be able to dedicate more time to the small details that arise in your path. 

Day 5: Walk Bandeira to Vedra(13 KM / 8 MI)
Breakfast. Today's stage takes you through a lush landscape to the village of Dornelas. You will continue to San Miguel de Castro and shortly after you will cross the Ulla River on a bridge and enter Ponte Ulla. On the way to Vedra you will pass by the Santiaguiño Chapel and the Santiaguiño Fountain. 

Day 6: Walk Vedra to Santiago (16 KM / 9.9 MI)
Breakfast. The route leads to the slopes of Pico Sacro, an elevation linked to the tradition of the Traslatio of the apostle remains to Compostela. In A Susana the pilgrim reaches the municipality of Santiago, and finally enters in the city by the Collegiate Church of Santa María de Sar, a monastery founded in 12th century. SUPERIOR CLASS INCLUDES LODGING AT THE PARADOR DOS REIS CATOLICOS.

Day 7: Santiago

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

Dicen que Santiago es el pueblo más grande del mundo y, al mismo tiempo, la ciudad más pequeña del planeta. Esta capital gallega combina las comodidades de las pequeñas localidades y las ventajas de las grandes ciudades sofisticadas. Se puede recorrer de una punta a otra en un tranquilo paseo y goza de las comodidades de las grandes capitales. Rincones solitarios y tranquilos y calles bulliciosas de bares de vinos comparten el mismo escenario. El centro histórico, declarado patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO, es la joya de la corona. Construida piedra a piedra alrededor de su majestuosa catedral. El descubrimiento de la tumba del apóstol en el siglo IX transformó este lugar sagrado para siempre.
