Camino de Santiago — fork at Triacastela
Highlight • Trail
San Xil Route: This is the historic and most direct route, which crosses the San Xil valley, passing through picturesque villages and rural roads.
Samos Route: This variant is a little longer and passes through the Benedictine monastery of Samos, one of the oldest in Spain.
Both routes have their charm and offer different landscapes and experiences.😎🚶♀️😊

The main reason for our trip to Spain was Arthur and his exhibition at his gallery on the Camino de Santiago. Arthur had hiked the Camino a few years ago and fell in love with the then-dilapidated building right on the trail, about 130 km from Santiago de Compostela. He decided to buy it and began renovating it. Today, ten years later, it is both his home and an art gallery. The garden is still a work in progress, but the flowers he planted, including 20 to 30 lavender plants, are already attracting numerous butterflies.
All pilgrims passing through here (and turning right at the fork in the trail in Triacastela towards San Xil) are welcome to admire his works and his obvious artistic talent. They may even be lucky enough to have an original Arthur Manton-Lowe painting included in their Camino pilgrim's passport.
