The trail
The first pilgrim road, from Oviedo over the Asturian mountains by Lugo, joining the Francés at Melide for the last 53 km into Santiago; the whole way counts towards the Compostela.
Stages

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.
