Stage Description
This is the penultimate stage of the Winter Camino. The profile is a continuous rise and fall through rural Galicia. The path passes by Silleda, an important service center. The most notable milestone is the descent into the Ulla River valley and crossing its historic bridge. The landscape is of great beauty, with forests and meadows. Arrival in Ponte Ulla, a small village at the bottom of the valley, offers a peaceful rest before the final stage to Santiago.
The penultimate stage of the Winter Camino is a long journey that brings the pilgrim to the gates of Santiago. The path follows an undulating profile, crossing the Deza and Ulla comarcas. It passes through Silleda, a village with all services, known for its international fair. A highly recommended detour in this area is a visit to Toxa's Fervenza (waterfall), one of Galicia's highest. The key point of the stage is arriving at the valley of the Ulla River, one of Galicia's great rivers. It crosses the imposing Ponte Ulla bridge, a place of great landscape beauty. Arrival in the small local town of Ponte Ulla, at the bottom of the valley, marks the end of the stage.
