Spend your first day getting oriented and checking out whichever sites interest you most.

    • Explore the Wall Interpretation Centre
    • Visit the Mosaics House

You'll visit the Church of San Romao Da Retorta and see a replica Roman Milestone that was found in the village. Your bags get transported ahead to where you're staying that night, so you just need to focus on the walk and the sights along the way.

Stop by the Romanesque Church of San Pedro and check out a 14th-century cruceiro wayside cross in town. The Terra Museum of Melide is there if you want more local history. Don't skip trying the authentic Galician food here, especially the famous octopus that Melide is known for.

    Great tour. Good transfers and accommodations. Suggest that breakfast be served earlier at ALL hotels and no later than 7 AM since we need to START walking no later than 7:30 AM to cover the long distances. Taxis also need to show up on time. Also do some research and let clients know where public laundrys are located near hotels. These suggestions would make your tour even better.
