The trail
From A Coruña it is 72.8 km, short of the Compostela's 100 km unless the pilgrimage began outside Spain, when 70 km walked in Spain is enough.

Paths change, and the weather decides the day. The line comes from the source named under the map and the heights from a terrain model, so treat the figures as a guide. Check for diversions before you go, take a map, check the forecast, and turn back if it isn't right.
