Day 7: Amenal to Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela – 14km – Gran Hotel Los Abetos 4* - Santiago

After the night in Amenal, our next point of interest is Lavacolla in the outskirts of Santiago, where pilgrims used to wash themselves in the river in preparation for their arrival in Santiago de Compostela. Rows of tall eucalyptus trees line the journey to Monte do Gozo (‘Mount of Joy’ 368m) and it is from here that we will catch our first glimpse of the spires of the cathedral in Santiago.
