Check in Lugo

Arrival in Lugo. Lugo is one of the main cities of Galicia region, we recommend you to add an extra night here to visit the Roman Walls, the Cathedral of Santa María, or the historical quarter.

Lugo – Ferreira (27 km)

Today we start the last section of the Primitive Way. A lot of pilgrims start the walk in Lugo, since it is the minimum required to get the certificate once in Santiago de Compostela (100 km).

Ferreira – Melide (20 km)

Last walking day before the itinerary joins together with the French Way, in Melide. After a couple of days of solitude, you will see that number of pilgrims will increase, and the route will become more sociable.

Melide – Arzúa (13 km)

Today we will see one of the most interesting points of the route: Ribadiso, a medieval town just before Arzúa. Once there, we recommend you to try the local cheese, a delicacy!

Arzúa – O Pedrouzo (18 km)

The walk will take you through eucalyptus forests, charming villages and across small rivers. We strongly recommend you visit the Chapel of Santa Irene, which is a very common stop among pilgrims. Pedrouzo is quite small and during high season most of the accommodation can be fully booked. But do not worry, we have many different options in the area, which are also very popular.

O Pedrouzo – Santiago (20 km)

Finally, we get to the last walking day of the Camino. You will be able to observe from the top of the hill, “Monte do Gozo”, the lovely city of Santiago de Compostela, and its beautiful cathedral, your ultimate goal. Many pilgrims stop there just before descending, recalling the best moments of an adventure that is about to finish. When you get to Santiago do not forget to go to the Pilgrim’s Office with your Pilgrim Passport if you want to get your “Compostela” (Pilgrim Certificate). If you still have some energy left, we recommend you continue your route to Muxía – have a look to the Camino Finisterre- Muxía.

Superior category

3, 4 and 5* Hotels

Typical in the large cities along the El Camino. They can be family hotels or international hotel chains. They are perhaps the most expensive alternative, although you can find different price levels according to the category and services they offer.

Hoteles Boutique

These are small accommodations characterized by having few rooms and providing personalized attention. They are hotel concepts with a modern style and their own character. They can be between 1* and 5*.

National Paradores of Spain

This is a public hotel chain that manages a network of almost 100 charming hotels distributed throughout the Iberian Peninsula. The establishments are located in buildings of cultural interest and great historical value, and stand out for their scenic, artistic or natural interest (including ancient palaces, monasteries, fortresses, convents, fortresses…).

Rural tourism lodgings

Rural houses, pazos, inns, rectories, castles, monasteries, farmhouses… These are historic buildings of great architectural and patrimonial value. So much so, that this characteristic sometimes gives them the status of “luxury accommodation” despite of the fact that they are often rustic constructions in which natural stone and wood predominate.

Todo fenomenal, bien organizado, con una excepción El viaje estuvo muy bien y el tiempo nos acompañó. La organización por parte de la Agencia fue impecable. Sólo tener en cuenta que el Hotel Suiza en Arzúa no estuvo a la altura: hotel antiguo, sin ascensor, carísima la cena, en la habitación no funcionan la TV, ni los enchufes (sólo 1 a la altura de la almohada), ni el secador, sólo un juego de toallas.

Excelente opción para organizarte el Camino Sorprendida con la rapidez en organizarme un viaje a medida: con las modificaciones que fui pidiendo, en menos de una semana tenía ya mi camino inglés preparado.
Contestan muy rápido, tanto, que a mitad de camino pedimos el masaje del peregrino, y ya tenemos cita antes de acabarlo!!
Todo está yendo sobre ruedas, el transfer de maletas, y los hoteles que eligieron a media pensión.
Estoy encantada, y seguro que repito.

Mi camino Primitivo desde Lugo a Santiago de Compostel. Cada lugar una experiencia. He tenido la gratitud de hacer el Camino Primitivo desde Lugo A Santiago los últimos 100 km con Galiwonder.
Ha sido gratificante todas las experiencias del camino. Sus amaneceres, atardeceres. Sitiendo en cada km la belleza de paisaje y sobre todo saborear el instante que nuestros observaban como un regalo de la vida.
La gente del camino amable y tan solidaria. Unos y otros realizando el camino juntos y felices al compartir momento de vida.No hay prisa de llegar lo de verdad importante es disfrutar de cada lugar y nuesto ser como se siente y sentir cada minuto vivido.
Gracias por el buen atendimiento de Galiwonder a su equipo por los buenas pensiones y sus servicios prestados.
Muy comodos realizando el camino con ellos.
Saludos y un fuerte abrazo para ese equipo y Sonia por hacer realidad mi camino.
Buen camino!!!
