Camino del Norte App

Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino del Norte app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

A small Galician hamlet with a chapel. The camino passes through on its way to Merlan.

The Camino:

Shortly beyond the church in San Xurxo, near the stone marked 68.3, the camino splits. It is possible, but not at all recommended, to follow the LU-P-2901 south to Palas del Rei. To avoid doing so, look for the arrows which have you leave the road in favor of a trail on your right. The trail doesn’t last long and soon you are on a different paved road and entering the hamlet of Merlán.

Beautiful Spring, Stature of St James

Just before the village on your right: beautiful rest area, spring (locals collect water to drink from here) and picnic table. Take a break here!
