Etapa 30: de Arzúa
a Rúa
Pilgrims will start today´s journey full
of joy, conscious that tomorrow they will be entering Santiago
de Compostela, where many wonders await them, including the
sepulchre of the Saint Apostle. The next stage, apart from
being exciting for its sentimental and spiritual load, will
be wearisome. For that reason, today´s journey will be quiet
and short; pilgrims would better reserve their energies.
The Route advances towards Las Barrosas, where are the small
chapel of San Lázaro and the Mill of the French. Further on
the Route crosses Calzada, Calle and Salceda, where pilgrims
can stop by a small monument in memory of a Belgian pilgrim
who died here on 23 August, 1989. Then the itinerary passes
through Brea and Santa Irene, and finally arrives at Rúa. |

Before retiring to the Hotel, pilgrims can take a quiet
walk around this village. The emotion is reflected in the
pilgrims´ face, the tiredness accumulated during the pilgrimage
does not become apparent. Many things are on the pilgrims´minds:
the list of all the sights to see in Santiago, the visit
to the Apostle, the intention to pick up the document that
certifies that the Route to Santiago has been made.
In Compostela await them the Cathedral, the Obradoiro Square,
the old Royal Hospital of the Catholic Monarchs, the Rúa
of San Pedro... They will also have time to enjoy the delicious
gastronomy of Galicia.
