The Dragonte Route
The most Epic day on the Camino. Every year nearly 500,000 people walk the Camino, but less than 100 take on the challenge of the Dragonte Route.

From Monforte de Lemos, it’s approximately 135 kilometres to Santiago de Compostela, on the Camino Invierno (the Winter Way), a walk that typically takes about 5 or 6 days to complete.
The last 100 kilometres of the Camino Francés are often much maligned. After nearly 700 kilometres of walking from Saint Jean Pied de Port, the sudden influx of new pilgrims starting in Sarria can feel very overwhelming.
If you have some time at the end of your Camino, I highly recommend walking on to Finisterre and then to Muxía.
