Arrive in Ourense
Your Camino Sanabrés pilgrimage begins in the well kept-secret of Ourense. Despite a beautiful blend of monumental buildings, a charming historic old town, and the beautiful Mino River, the city maintains a sense of cultural authenticity and is not yet a major destination for tourists in Galicia. If your arrival time permits, set out on a mini-adventure to explore the cobbled streets of the charming old town. The Ourense Thermal Baths are also well worth a visit, known as wellness hot springs possessing therapeutic and medicinal benefits.
