Itinerary
- Day 1
Baamonde
You'll arrive in Baamonde and spend time walking through this charming village to get oriented. The Romanesque Saint James Church is your main stop here, and there's something really special nearby that makes the trip worth the effort: a chapel that's been carved right into a 500-year-old chestnut tree next to the parish church. It's the kind of detail you won't find in most places, so take time to see it properly.

Baamonde to Miraz
Grab breakfast in Baamonde, then you'll head out for an easy walk through a series of small villages on your route: San Breixo de Parga, Carballedo, Seixón, and A Lagoa. The day's not too demanding, which gives you a chance to settle into the rhythm of walking. By the end, you'll reach Miraz where the Tower of Miraz waits for you to explore. This 15th-century fortress is quite old and worth checking out before the day ends.

It's one of those places where you can feel the history and the spiritual atmosphere of the location, so plan to spend some time there rather than just passing through.
