San Romao da Retorta → Melide

A long stage that brings you to the junction with the Camino Francés. The path passes through Ponte Ferreira and various hamlets with rural Romanesque churches. The landscape is of gentle hills and eucalyptus forests. Upon arriving in Melide, you join the stream of Francés pilgrims — the change is noticeable after the Primitivo's solitude. Melide is famous for its octopus: the pulperías in the square are an essential stop. Abundant hostels. From here you share the route with the Francés all the way to Santiago.
