Information
Ventas de Narón, a small Galician village, offers a peaceful and rural atmosphere, surrounded by forests and mountains, ideal for exploring the Way of Saint James.
In this third stage you will leave Portomarín towards Ventas de Narón. Unlike the previous stages, in this section there are fewer people, so it is advisable to leave well stocked with enough water and food. Although it is an easy route, you will find some considerable slopes, so take it easy. It is worth taking a detour from the route of the Camino to visit the prehistoric site of Castromaior, which is well signposted. In Ventas de Narón, you can visit the small chapel of A Madalena, guarded at the entrance by a wooden door carved with the cross and the pilgrim’s shell.
