Itinerary description
What a difference with the previous stages of the Camino Primitivo! We find dozens of accommodations and bars specifically targeted to pilgrims in Arzua, the starting point for today. That's because here the Primitivo is joined by the French way, the most famous and popular Camino.
It gives the walk a different feeling. Instead of walking kilometers alone and being happy to find a small bar to drink something, we now walk several times in small groups of people, and every kilometer or so, there's a place to stop. It's clear that this part of Galicia profits highly from the income that the pilgrims bring.
Apart from the Catholic churches and chapels that we encountered along the way before, we now also pass some places for more eastern-oriented spiritualism, mindfulness, and and evangelic albergue explaining the bible and gospel. Of course, these all form part of the Camino!
