Stage Description

This is one of the hardest, mythical and beautiful stages of the Camino Francés. The journey involves ascending from the Valcarce valley to the top of O Cebreiro, the entrance to Galicia. The first part is a gentle stroll, but the last kilometers from Herrerías are an implacable and very hard climb. The effort is extreme, but the reward is immense: a spectacular mountain landscape and the emotion of arriving at the magical village of O Cebreiro, with its pre-Romanesque pallozas, miraculous church and an atmosphere that transports you to another era.
