The Silver Way is, among all the pilgrimage's routes, the longest travelling across the galician country and the spanish nation.

The Silver Way, or Southeast Way, is stretched out in Galicia through the provinces of Ourense, Pontevedra and A Coruña, crossing nature reserves of great beauty, surrounded by a cultural and ecological heritage of inestimable value.
The Silver Way is a natural extension of the ancient Roman paved road which linked Mérida with Astorga, crossing the west of the iberian peninsula from south to north and going through the basins of th rivers Tajo, Duero, Sil, Miño, etc.
It starts in Sevilla and it makes progress to the north through the regions of Extremadura, Castilla y León and making finally its way towards Salamanca and Zamora. After reaching this city the pilgrim can go further on the Silver Way to Astorga and get there the French Way or take the galician detour, called as well the Sanabrés Way, going to the northwest and travelling across Ourense towards Santiago de Compostela. Both ways are 1000 kilometres long and it takes about six weeks on foot. These ways are less crowded than the French Way and, even if there are accomodation possibilities all along the way, some stages are a little bit long.
