Self-guided Camino del Norte from Baamonde
The last 100 km of the Northern Way, inland through Lugo to Santiago.
From Baamonde the Norte crosses the Terra Chá plateau and the hills around Sobrado before it joins the Francés at Arzúa. The villages are small and far apart, so it pays to reach Miraz and Sobrado dos Monxes with your room already confirmed.
What a self-guided tour includes
A room every night
Booked in a guesthouse, hotel or rural house at the end of each stage.
Luggage transfer
Your bag goes by car from one place to the next; you walk with a daypack.
Breakfast, if you want it
Have it included or leave it free to eat along the way.
Support on the way
A contact number for anything unexpected, from the first stage to the last.
