Stage
Santiago de Compostela → Negreira
Ease of walking: Moderate, with mixed dirt tracks, country lanes and rolling terrain.
From O Milladoiro the route settles into a classic Galician walking day, passing hamlets, woodland tracks and the beautifully preserved crossing at Ponte Maceira before reaching Negreira. The stage balances easy rural walking with enough distance to feel like the true beginning of the westward journey.
Scenery
Oak and eucalyptus groves, riverbanks, old stone villages and green agricultural land.
Points of interest along the way
- • Ponte Maceira
- • Pazo do Cotón
Water along the Camino
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
