Day 25 Fillobal to Samos

Day 25 Fillobal to Samos 17 km

The Camino now guides me towards the direction of Sarria.
Along the way there are a chain of small towns of Jacobean tradition: A Balsa, Montán, Pintín, Calvor and San Mamede do Camino.

My planned route includes the 'Samos variant', with promises of beautiful landscapes and numerous examples of popular Galician architecture.
I continued along the river bank, towards San Cristovo do Real. This village has an ancient church - San Cristovo. It looks extremely grand in its simple surroundings.

Again, I have to cross a few bridges and, surprisingly, one has a laundry room as its central point! Bizarre.

I progressed, and was met with the most magnificent area of lush chestnut trees. Absolutely stunning.

After passing Renche, Lastres and Freituxe, I reached San Martiño do Real where a series of steep descents led me to tonight’s abode, Samos.

I am delighted to arrive and quickly have a well-earned siesta.Read more
