We continue and ascend until we cross the road and enter O empalme (km 15) and from here, descending under eucalyptus trees, we reach Santa Irene (km 16.5). We continue under the eucalyptus trees until we reach A R\u00faa and then we go up to O Pedrouzo by asphalted track (km 19).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through eucalyptus forests and asphalted tracks we ascend to Cimadevila (km 23), we continue climbing for 2 km but not as steeply and after passing close to the A-54 and crossing a secondary road we reach San Paio (km 27). After an ascent and descent we reach Lavacolla (km 28.5). From here and always ascending gently on tarmac tracks we reach Monte de Gozo (km 34), a place located 5 km from Santiago and where in the Middle Ages pilgrims saw the towers of the Cathedral for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we only have to go down an asphalted road, be aware that at the end there are some stairs, and we find ourselves at the entrance to the city of Santiago de Compostela on rua San Lazaro. We enter the old town through the r\u00faa das Casas Reais, we go up to the praza de Cervantes. Finally we enter under the Arch of the Palace through a passageway, watch out for the stairs that are not visible, and we arrive at the Plaza del Obradoiro, where our journey ends? ....<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer not to comment any further at this point and let you feel and experience your own sensations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stages:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Stage 1.
