Stage Description
This stage of the Winter Camino is a long distance and flat walk, ideal for a peaceful and reflective stroll. The path runs through the Ribeira Sacra plain, across fields of cultivation and small villages. It's a journey to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside and the solitude of the road. Arrival in Chantada, a village with an animated old town by the river Asma, offers a final stage with a great taste for wine and tradition, ideal for recovering strength before the last stages towards Santiago.
The stage between Monforte de Lemos and Chantada is an immersion into the heart of Ribeira Sacra. The profile is a continuous "rocky" terrain, with ups and downs that peek out at the spectacular canyons of the Miño River. The landscape is dominated by the vineyards of the D.O. Ribeira Sacra, planted in terraces that defy the steepness of the slopes. It's heroic viticulture resulting in high-quality wines. The route is dotted with small Romanesque churches, such as San Paio de Diomondi. This stage is perfect for enjoying a unique landscape in the world. Arrival at Chantada, one of Ribeira Sacra's capitals, marks the end of the stage. Its old town, with its archways and blazoned houses, has great charm. It's the perfect place to taste the local wines and enjoy the local cuisine.
