Information
Behind is Ponte das Febres as you plunge into a lush forest known as A Ribeira. After passing through the village of Magdalena, a typical Galician rural village, you will follow the Louro River to Orbenlle. At this point there is a fork that will take you to Eidos or As Gándaras. Whatever your choice, you will glimpse in the distance the large pink granite quarries that have made the area famous, as this coveted pink granite is now exported to places as far away as Japan and the United States.
The next nucleus is the end of the stage and a place closely linked to the Camino de Santiago. In its urban area you can appreciate works of the architect Antonio Palacios, a native of the place and born in 1874. One of his greatest creations is the Municipal Palace, built in 1924. Very close to the route you will find other works such as the templete de la Red de San Luis, the fountain of Christ or the beautiful Palacios Pharmacy (designed in 1912 for his brother).
