The Camino Primitivo from Lugo is a great option that allows pilgrims to live the authenticity of the Camino Primitivo itself and visit two beautiful cities such as Lugo and Santiago de Compostela, both declared World Heritage by UNESCO; Lugo for the impressive wall that surrounds the old town and Santiago de Compostela for its wonderful historical center.
In Melide the Camino Primitivo and the Camino Frances converge, to finish the last three stages together, something that allows to coincide with many other pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela, where you can obtain your certificate, the Compostela. </ em >
In Lugo we recommend that you visit the beautiful historical center surrounded by its famous Roman wall or the Cathedral of Santa Maria, among other places of interest. You can also take advantage of tasting its exquisite tapas.
Lugo is an excellent starting point if you don't have so much time and want to capture the essence of the Camino Primitivo by completing the last 100 Km (62 Mi) and get the Compostela. Today's stage doesn't have much complication. Your path will take you to San Roman de Retorta, you will pass through Santa Eulalia de Boveda, an ancient monument converted into a museum of great medieval paintings, and finally you will arrive in Ferreira.
Today will end in Melide, where the Camino Frances meets the Camino Primitivo. It will be a stage with slight slopes, crossing small charming villages such as Seixalvo, Xende, Ferreira and Merlan.
From Melide you will follow the route with the pilgrims that come from the Camino Frances, crossing several streams and slopes. You will pass through the picturesque village of Ribadiso with its beautiful medieval bridge, before arriving in Arzua where you will spend the night.
You will continue your Camino de Santiago through beautiful forests and meadows, crossing small villages in a comfortable and peaceful stage.
You will approach Santiago de Compostela passing through Lavacolla and with a slight ascent to O Monte do Gozo, from where you can enjoy wonderful views of the city, and contemplate the beautiful cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
It is time to explore the splendid city of Santiago de Compostela, its historic center and countless examples of history and culture that have led it to be part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We recommend including some extra night to have more time to discover the city with guided tours or to Finisterre.
