Stage 3. Ponteceso – Laxe (25.3 km)

Information

This stage has an affordable mileage, in the average, since from Ponteceso to Laxe we find a stage of 25 kilometers but with a very gentle slope. It is a special stage, as it is the one that is furthest away from the coast in a stretch, as it is intended that the walker visits important historical remains, such as the well recovered Dolmen of Dombatea Neolithic burial mound, as well as the Castro de Borneiroand the top of Monte Castelo, which will give us a fabulous panoramic view of the Ría de Corme and Laxe. In addition, in this stage we will have the Laxe beacon, as its lighthouse belongs to the route of the next stage, leaving Laxe towards Arou and Camelle.

This stage is part of the Way of the Lighthouses. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Lighthouse Route from Malpica to Finisterre and Way of the Lighthouses Malpica – Arou.

You leave Ponteceso from the house of the poet Eduardo Pondal and cross the Anllóns into a stage that heads inland without losing an ounce of beauty: the mill trail of Rego dos Muíños, the Dombate dolmen and the Borneiro hillfort. Up top, the Monte Castelo viewpoint hands you the whole ría of Corme and Laxe. You drop back to the sea along Rebordelo and San Pedro beaches to Laxe.
