From Rodeiro to Lalín

Today we continue our incursion through the lands of Pontevedra. This time we leave Rodeiro behind us, heading northwest towards Lalín, a town famous for its exceptional stew. From here, our route joins the Sanabrés Way and the Vía de la Plata in its last stretch.

We leave Rodeiro taking the local road towards Lalín. After reaching A Ponte, we leave behind the asphalt to walk through charming wooded paths and dirt tracks. Following intermittently the course of the Arnego River, we will pass through the places of Penerbosa, A Puza, A Penela, and Eirexe de Pedroso.

From Eirexe de Pedroso, we continue along an asphalted stretch until we reach the place of Laxas, famous for the quality of its trout. After crossing a stone bridge and continuing briefly along the road, we will divert towards the Val do Boi to begin a gradual ascent towards the Coto de Anta.

Following the signs, we will reach the stream of O Rego de Ribadeiro, from where we will advance along a charming rural path to Palmaz. Finally, we will cross with extreme caution the road that connects Lalín with Monforte to continue towards Lagazós, located near our destination.

Things to consider

We will not find many services during this day, so it is advisable to leave with enough water and food. In this stretch, your route merges with the Sanabrés Way and with the last stretch of the Silver Way. We are very close to reaching the goal, let’s go!
