The Town

Discover Chantada

Chantada, a noble village on the banks of the Asma River, is an emblematic stop on the Winter Way, deeply connected to the spectacular landscape of Ribeira Sacra. Known as "The Heart of Galicia", it offers pilgrims an immersion in heroic viticulture, with its famous Mencía vineyards planted in steep terraces that jut out into the Miño River canyon. The stage that arrives or departs from Chantada is one of the most beautiful on this Jacobean route, allowing discovery of a unique natural environment and a rich Romanesque heritage scattered around it, with churches such as Santa María de Pesqueiras. Chantada's old town invites a peaceful stroll, with its blazoned houses and lively local life. For walkers, the village is an important centre of services, with hostels and cuisine that perfectly matches the local wines. It's a stop that combines the effort of the route with the reward of an unforgettable landscape and the authenticity of Galicia's interior, an essential experience on the Way of St James.
