Information
Palas de Rei, right on the Way of Saint James, blends medieval history, rural architecture and natural landscapes, perfect for enjoying tranquillity and hiking.
The Way leaves Ventas de Narón passing through tiny villages until you reach Lameiros, where you can stop to look at a 17th century cruceiro (stone cross). The route continues through a completely rural setting, passing through the villages of Ligonde and Airexe, where you can admire its rectory house and its Romanesque church dedicated to Santiago. When you arrive at the village of Portos, friendly ants will welcome you and invite you to rest. Just outside this place you will have the possibility to visit the interesting monastery of Vilar de Donas, one of the most amazing temples in the area. To get there, you have to take a 2.3 km detour from the Camino, but we assure you that the visit will be well worth it. Back on the Camino, only 4 kilometres separate you from the end of the stage, Palas de Rei, a small Jacobean village that has all the services you need to rest.
