Information
Morgade, a peaceful Galician village, stands out for its natural setting, surrounded by mountains and forests, ideal for those seeking peace, history and rural beauty.
In this first stage of your French Way from Sarria in short stages runs through paths, rural roads full of life and small villages with few inhabitants. If you need to withdraw money, we recommend you to do it in Sarria, as you won’t find cash machines until you get to Portomarín. At the exit of Sarria, you will cross the Pequeno river by the medieval bridge of Áspera. After a three-kilometre walk you will reach the beautiful church of Santiago de Barbadelo, where it will be worthwhile to make a stop on the Way. The journey continues through small villages surrounded by fields until we reach Morgade, where we will find the main landmark of the stage: the milestone that marks the 100 kilometres to Santiago, one of the most photographed of the whole Camino de Santiago.
