Labouheyre - Onesse-Laharie

This is one of the most emblematic stages of the French Way. The ascent to Iron Cross, the highest point on the route, is a moment of great emotion and spirituality. After crowning, a long and vertiginous descent takes the pilgrim to the Bierzo region. It's a high mountain journey, full of beauty and demand. Arrival in Ponferrada, with its impressive Templar castle, is a monumental final stage. It's an epic journey that marks a before and after on the route.
