      Camino Sanabrés

      Cea, en la provincia de Orense, Galicia, España
      The Camino Sanabrés starts in Granja de Moreruela and follows the royal road between Meseta and Galacia, reaching Santiago de Compostella from the South. It is often used by pilgrims on the Vía de la Plata as a final stage to Santiago de Compostella. The route is less tavelled than the major caminos and has a reputation for being peaceful and gentle.
      The Camino Sanabrés is an uncrowded route and does not offer the same level of pilgrim services as the more popular routes. Accommodation and services can be sparse and pilgrims will need careful planning and an ability to adapt to circumstances.

      Rest Point. This is a point where a rest day is scheduled, so that you can recover, replenish supplies, repair or replace equipment, wash clothes and whatever else you need to do.
