Arzúa

Arzúa, located in the province of A Coruña in northwestern Spain, serves as a pivotal junction for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. It is the final resting point before the last leg into Santiago de Compostela, where the French Way and Northern Way converge. With a population of approximately 5,887, the town offers a quiet, rural atmosphere distinct from larger cities. Notably, it has one of the highest cow-to-person ratios in Galicia, reflecting its strong agricultural heritage. While the current residents are largely of Basque extraction, the region's history dates back to pre-Roman times. For hotel travelers, Arzúa provides a serene base to experience authentic Galician culture and prepare for the final push to Santiago.
