From Baamonde to Miraz

Actually, this stage is composed in the official route of this section and the following one, reaching Sobrado dos Monxes and accumulating a total of almost 40 kilometres of distance. Fortunately, thanks to the opening of new hostels in recent years, this stage of almost 40 kilometers from Baamonde, has been able to divide the stage in two, spending the first night in Miraz.

We leave Baamonde following the route of the N-VI towards A Coruña until we reach a level crossing over the train tracks and, subsequently, a beautiful medieval bridge. After crossing the Parga River, we enter a charming carballeira (oak grove) that shelters the chapel of San Alberte, a place of great scenic and spiritual value.

Shortly after passing the chapel, we will find a fork to continue the path towards Sobrado dos Monxes. We should choose the alternative that goes through Miraz, where we will spend the night. After taking this detour, we will cross the nuclei of Carballedo, Seixón, and A Lagoa before reaching our destination in Miraz.

Things to consider

Completing the stage from Baamonde to Sobrado dos Monxes involves a journey of more than 30 kilometers, which can be excessive for the body. Although some pilgrims choose to do it in one go, our recommendation is to divide the effort and spend the night in Miraz to better enjoy the surroundings.
