Day 2｜Sarria – Portomarín (22.5 km)
Shortly after leaving Sarria, you'll cross the Asperra Roman Bridge over the Celeiro River and pass through the charming villages of Vilei, Peruscallo, Morgade, and Moimentos, walking along the ancient stone-paved paths known as corredoiras.
The town of Portomarín was originally located by the Miño River but was submerged in the 1960s due to the construction of a dam. Important buildings—including San Juan Church, San Pedro Church, Berbetoros Palace, and Condes House—were relocated stone by stone to higher ground. When water levels drop, traces of the old town can still be seen.

You will then arrive in Palas de Rei, meaning “Palace of the King.” Though little remains of its royal heritage today, the town still holds a quiet charm.

Spanish pilgrimage road 100km -French road
This is a classic hiking journey full of history, faith and natural beauty: starting from Sarria in Galicia, walking about 115 kilometers, walking for 6 days, successfully landing in front of Santiago Cathedral, and obtaining the official pilgrimage certificate (Compostela). This "last 100 kilometers" is the shortest distance required to obtain certification, so it is also the section with the most pilgrims and the most atmosphere. Whether you are a religious believer, a hiker, or an explorer looking for inner peace and meaning in life, this road is worth walking. Along the way, we crossed the rolling green hills, quiet stone villages, and oak and eucalyptus forests that can be seen everywhere. Every step is engraved in the footprints of a thousand-year-old pilgrim, and every stop is a spiritual dialogue.
