Ribadeo → Lourenzá
A stage of the Camino del Norte
The first full stage inside Galicia on the Camino del Norte, this 26 km moderate walk leads inland from the estuary town of Ribadeo to Lourenzá, climbing 298 metres and descending 218 metres through the start of Galicia's lush, hilly interior. Eucalyptus forests, low stone walls, and slate-roofed villages signal an unmistakable shift in landscape and culture from the Asturian coast. Lourenzá is home to a notable Benedictine monastery, making for a historically resonant overnight stop.
