O Cebreiro is the gateway to Galicia on the Camino Frances: a mountain hamlet of stone pallozas and a pre-Romanesque church, sitting at 1,300 metres. Starting here means walking the final 155 kilometres to Santiago in seven stages, roughly a week, entirely through Galicia. You can get there by bus from Lugo or from Pedrafita do Cebreiro, and many pilgrims arrive the evening before to sleep in the albergue and watch the sunrise over the valleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From O Cebreiro to Santiago there are 7 stages through rural Galicia: Triacastela, Sarria \u2014 where most walkers join the route \u2014, Portomar\u00edn, Palas de Rei, Arz\u00faa, O Pedrouzo and the final stretch into Santiago. Since the route covers more than 100 kilometres, stamping your pilgrim credential twice a day from Sarria onward is enough to earn the Compostela. The full Camino Frances, starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, is covered in our 34-stage guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 7 Stages of the Camino from O Cebreiro to Santiago de Compostela<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
