What pilgrims say
Arzúa is 40 kilometres from Santiago de Compostela. For most pilgrims, two stages remain: Arzúa–Pedrouzo and Pedrouzo–Santiago. This is the crucial moment when the body has accumulated weeks of effort and must still give its best for the final stretch of the Camino Francés.
Arzúa is where the Camino del Norte and the Camino Primitivo join the Camino Francés. Pilgrims from multiple routes arrive here with different levels of fatigue. We know how to treat them all.
40 km remain, but they are the most emotional. Reaching the Obradoiro without pain is not a luxury — it is the recognition you deserve after weeks on the Camino.
The fatigue of several days of walking is very different from a day of sport. Our treatments are specifically calibrated for pilgrim recovery.
Book from your phone while walking. You arrive, we attend to you immediately and you continue the Camino with renewed legs.
