Stage Description
This stage marks the entry into Galicia. The route follows the coastline path, passing through the coastal village of Tapia de Casariego. The most important milestone is crossing the Bridge of the Saints over the Eo estuary, the natural border between Asturias and Galicia. Arrival in Ribadeo, the first Galician city, with its spectacular Plaza de España and port, is a moment of great symbolism. Ribadeo is also the gateway to the famous Cathedral Beach.
