Stage 28. Ribadeo – Lourenzá (28.4 km)

Information

This is the first stage that runs entirely through Galician lands. From here, we will begin to advance in a south-westerly direction, until we reach the longed-for goal: Santiago de Compostela. During this stage, we leave the historic town of Ribadeo, to go into the interior of the Galicia of Lugo, by the hand of the council of Lourenxá, famous for its beans.

This stage is part of the Northern Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Northern Way from Ribadeo.

You begin the Camino del Norte in Galicia by crossing the Ponte dos Santos. You leave Ribadeo along forest paths and face the first serious climb, up to Ponte de Arante (better by road if it's been raining hard). Through vast green cattle pastures you reach Lourenzá, famed for its monastery and its fabas beans.
