O Cebreiro

Camino de Santiago stage town on Camino Francés

O Cebreiro is a small mountain village that marks the entry into Galicia on the Camino Francés, reached after a steep climb and sitting at around 1,290 m elevation. Pilgrims come for its atmospheric setting, the round stone-and-thatch pallozas, and the church of Santa María la Real associated with a well-known Eucharistic legend. Despite its size it offers albergues and places to eat, making it a memorable overnight stop that is often cold and misty.
