Portomarín → Palas de Rei
A stage of the Camino Francés
A hilly 24-kilometre stage on the Camino Francés that climbs more than it descends, linking the reservoir town of Portomarín to the small inland town of Palas de Rei. The route crosses an undulating Galician interior of oak woods, stone-walled meadows, and scattered hamlets, with 391 metres of cumulative gain spread across several modest climbs. The landscape is deeply rural and quietly beautiful.
