The end of your Camino de Santiago Clásico is near. After a well-deserved rest and a nutritious breakfast, prepare for a 19 km journey. From Arzúa to Santiago, the distance is 40 km, so it's advisable to split this route into two, stopping at Santa Irene, Rúa, or O Pedrouzo. This section is relatively easy and can be completed in about 4 hours. In Santa Irene, you'll find hostels; in Rúa, bars, pensions, and rural houses; and in O Pedrouzo, all necessary services.
