Today, you will cross the important, but somehow arbitrary, 100 km mark to Santiago. The hike is pleasant, with elevation gain at the beginning and elevation loss at the end. Most of the trek is on a forested path. A good number of hamlets can be found along the way to power up with tortilla pinchos and assorted Spanish fare.
