Discover Monforte de Lemos

Monforte de Lemos, the capital of Ribeira Sacra, presents itself as a monumental landmark and the geographical heart of the Camino de Invierno. The city, dominated by the imposing ensemble of San Vicente do Pino atop the mountain, which includes the Tower of Honour and the Benedictine Monastery (now National Parador), invites the pilgrim to a journey through Galicia's history. Its medieval old town, with its ancient Jewish quarter and old bridge over the Cabe river, retains a special charm. For the walker, Monforte is an important centre for services and a first-class cultural stop. It is the perfect base for understanding Ribeira Sacra's wealth, with its fluvial canyons and heroic vineyards. The city is also known for its College of Our Lady of the Old, nicknamed "the Galician Escorial". Arriving in Monforte de Lemos on the Camino de Santiago is to immerse oneself in a land of counts, monks, and vintners, a stop that enriches the pilgrimage with art, landscape, and the promise of excellent wines from the region.
