Variants of this stage

Por Samos

Rodeo que pasa por el monasterio de San Julián de Samos, uno de los más antiguos y grandes de Occidente. Algo más largo, por carretera y valle; merece la pena por la visita.

Por San Xil

La variante más corta y campestre, por aldeas y sendas entre robledales. La preferida por muchos peregrinos por su ambiente rural.
