Stage Description
A demanding stage that crosses the border between Castilla-León and Galicia through the legendary O Cebreiro pass. The 13 km have a significant cumulative climb, with a constant ascent from the Valcarce valley to the 1,300 m of the pass. The landscape changes drastically: Atlantic forests, pallozas (Celtic circular huts), fog and mountains. Pedrafita do Cebreiro is the entrance to the province of Lugo and to the Celtic spirituality of the Camino.
