A beautiful climb, steady and challenging, surrounded by greenery. Beautiful views.

One of the highest points on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, located between Triacastela and Fonfría, already in the province of Lugo. At 1,335 meters above sea level, this peak offers a natural viewpoint overlooking the Galician mountains. The area is often exposed to wind and changeable weather, even in summer, but the views and the feeling of having reached a milestone more than compensate. There's a hostel/bar right at the summit, useful as a stopping point for pilgrims and cyclists. Dress warmly before reaching the top: the temperature here can drop suddenly, even on sunny days. If you're on a mountain bike or e-bike, make sure you have good traction on descents and that your brakes are checked: the descent towards Fonfría is fast and winding. It's a good place to rest and refill your water or coffee before continuing.

One of the oldest monasteries in the West, dating back to the 6th century and the heart of the Ribeira Sacra region of Lugo. Its large cloister is the largest in Spain, and the complex is impressive both for its size and its history linked to the Camino de Santiago. Arriving via the detour from the French Way is a gift: a peaceful stretch, with a river and picture-perfect vegetation. However, once you leave, you have to climb back… and your legs remember.

The Santo Alberte Bridge, also known as Ponte de San Alberte, is a medieval gem located in the municipality of Guitiriz (Lugo), over the Parga River, in the heart of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve. Although believed to have Roman origins, the current structure is Gothic in style, built in the 14th century and renovated in the 18th century and again in 2006.

Nice bridge on the road
