Stage Description
Continuing on the Winter Way, this stage enters the spectacular Ribeira Sacra lucerne region. The path leaves the Sil valley to ascend gently, offering increasingly impressive panoramic views. The profile is undulating, with an initial ascent followed by smoother terrain. The route runs through a heroic vineyard landscape, planted in terraces on the riverbanks. Arrival at A Rúa de Valdeorras, an important nucleus in the vitivinicultural comarca, marks the end of stage with great scenic beauty and ethnographic richness. The pilgrim has the opportunity to immerse themselves in Galician wine culture in a unique setting.
