From Sobrado dos Monxes to Arzúa

Today we begin the last stage of the North Way, since in the next stage the itinerary joins with the French Way. As we walk from Sobrado dos Monxes and go deeper and deeper into the province of A Coruña, we will experience a quite perceptible change of landscape, until we reach the town of Arzúa. Gone are the extensive meadows and rural environments, which are progressively replaced by asphalted areas and a much more dotted and continuous habitat.

The last stage that truly belongs to the Norte. You leave Sobrado dos Monxes and its monumental monastery, continuing through wooded stretches and hamlets — A Gándara, with its Roman milestone; Sendelle and its church of Santa María. You finish in Arzúa, land of the famous cheese, where the Camino del Norte joins the Francés for the final stretch to Santiago.
