Stage Description

This long stage connects the capital of Galicia with the Virgin of the Barca sanctuary, a challenge for well-prepared cyclists or pilgrims. The route crosses the interior of Galicia, in a "break-neck" profile very demanding. It passes through Negreira and Olveiroa, where the turn towards the north is taken. The reward is arrival at the Costa da Morte and the mystical sanctuary of Muxía, embedded in rocks alongside the wild sea. A Camino finale loaded with legends and natural force.
