Stage Description

Cycling stage that leaves the coast of Lugo and enters the rural Galicia. The 70 km link Ribadeo with Vilalba passing through the region of A Mariña Central and Terra Chá. The landscape changes from Atlantic coast to Galician inland with meadows, eucalyptus forests and peat bogs. Vilalba is the capital of Terra Chá, with the tower of the Andrade family converted into a Parador Nacional.
Leaving behind the monumental Ourense, this stage enters into the comarca of O Carballiño. The route is a continuous up and down through a landscape of forests and hills. It's a day of great beauty and physical demand. Arrival in Cea, famous for its bread, one of Galicia's most renowned, is a gastronomic final stage. This stage puts the pilgrim to the test, but rewards with the beauty of the landscape and the flavors of Galicia.
