Stage Description
Transition stage between the provinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo, with an almost entirely flat profile. The 34 km run through the immensity of La Mancha, with cereal fields, vineyards and olive groves as constant company. The route passes through Villafranca de los Caballeros, with its natural lagoons, before reaching Madridejos, a town in Toledo with an outstanding heritage that includes the church of El Salvador (16th century) and a Saffron Museum dedicated to the cultivation of the red gold flower of La Mancha.
The stage from Olveiroa to Cee is one of the most awaited and exciting stages. It's the day when finally you see the sea. The path leaves Olveiroa and after passing through the bifurcation that allows access to Muxía, continues towards Finisterre. The first part is a pleasant stroll across the meseta. But the magical moment of the day arrives in the descent towards Cee. From a known point called Cruceiro da Armada, the pilgrim suddenly finds himself with an impressive panoramic view: Corcubión Bay, Cape Finisterre and the Atlantic Ocean stretching out to infinity. It's one of the most photographed and emotional moments on this route. From there, a very pronounced and technical descent begins that takes the walker from the meseta down to sea level. The descent is demanding for the knees. The path arrives in the village of Cee, the largest population center in Costa da Morte. With its port, hospital, and lively commercial life, Cee offers the pilgrim everything they need. The stage usually ends in the neighboring and more picturesque Corcubión, just a kilometer away.
