Stage Description

This is one of the most difficult, mythical and beautiful stages of the Camino Francés. With 27.8 kilometers, 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 along the river, but the last eight kilometers from Herrerías are an unrelenting and grueling climb, especially the final stretch from La Laguna. The effort is extreme, but the reward is immense: a spectacular mountain landscape and the excitement of arriving at the magical village of O Cebreiro, with its pre-Romanesque pallozas, miraculous church, and atmosphere that transports you to another era. This stage leaves an indelible mark on every pilgrim.
