Stage 7. Chantada – Rodeiro (25.4 km)

Information

During this stage the Winter Road leaves Chantada and enters briefly into the province of Pontevedra through the municipality of Rodeiro. In fact, the day will be marked by the ascent to Monte Faro, the natural divide that separates the provinces of Lugo and Pontevedra. Once in Rodeiro, we can enjoy its beautiful Romanesque heritage.

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

Inland Galicia in its purest form. You leave Chantada by Centulle and Casasoa and link dirt tracks between hamlets — Boán, Lucenza — to Penasillás, a good place for a breather. There comes the main course: the climb along the Camino de la Virgen to the chapel of O Faro, at over 1,000 metres, with views that are worth every step. Then a descent towards the pazo of Camba and Rodeiro.
