Discover San Cibrao de Las
The Castro of San Cibrao de Las, known as "A Cidade", is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in northwest Iberia. This fortified Iron Age settlement, with its imposing walls and hundreds of circular and rectangular dwellings, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Gaulish Celts. For pilgrims on the Silver Way, taking a small detour to visit this site is an immersion deep into the roots of the land they traverse. Walking through its ancient streets, situated on a hill with panoramic views, is an evocative experience. San Cibrao de Las is not just a visit, but a dialogue with the most ancestral history of Galicia.
