From Miraz to Sobrado dos Monxes

Today we are going for the second part of the route to Sobrado dos Monxes. In this stage we will reach the maximum altitude of the North path, with 710 meters. The stage runs calmly from the town of Miraz, passing through small villages until it reaches the centre of Sobrado dos Monxes.

The departure from Miraz to the place of A Braña is composed of a magical natural environment, which will be the dominant tone in our way to Sobrado dos Monxes. In this stretch, we will enjoy an unprecedented tranquility and connection with nature, traversing paths that were once traveled by the ancient Galician Celtic tribes.

From A Braña, we continue walking uphill until we reach the Alto da Mámoa. Subsequently, we will pass through the place of A Roxica before entering the town of A Cabana. We proceed through the places of A Marcela and Corteporcos; it is here that we touch the peak of the Northern Way, reaching an altitude of 710 meters.

Once we have arrived at O Mesón, we will be just 5 kilometers away from our final destination: Sobrado dos Monxes, famous for its impressive monastic heritage.

Things to keep in mind

Almost without realizing it, today we leave the province of Lugo after departing from Miraz to enter A Coruña just before arriving at Sobrado dos Monxes. On the next day, we will join our steps with the pilgrims of the French Way in Arzúa. The goal is very close!
