Day 1. Transfer to the starting point of the tour, Ribadeo. Briefing of the trip.
Day 2. Ribadeo-Lourenzá. Distance 29,5 km.
In todays’ walk we will leave the Cantabrian Sea to head inland to the town of Lourenzá, famous for its "fabas" or local beans. We will walk on rural trails, in slight ascent, as the terrain will become more mountainous.
We will cross small towns like Villamartín, Gondán or San Xusto, that do not have shops or services, reason why we had to pack some snaks and water. From San Xusto we will cross a forest of eucalyptus until we reach Lourenzá.
+ 710 m ascent. - 695 m descent. Time: 7 hours
Day 3. Lourenzá -Abadín. Distance 24,8 km
From Lourenza to Mondoñedo the way cross dense forests, through paths between farmland and small rural villages. We will reach Mondoñedo, which used to be one of the 7 capitals of the old Kingdom of Galicia. We will take a breath to visit this town and its Romanesque cathedral, a vital pause in order to face the next three hours on the way up to Lousada and the hermitage of San Cosme da Montaña, to continue to Gontán, and Abadín, the capital of the Concello, where we will spend the night.
+ 740 m ascent. - 300 m descent. Time: 7 hours 30 min
Day 4. Abadín-Vilalba. Distance 20,6 km.
This stretch of the Camino del Norte, already without unevenness, meanders through the forests, farmland and green pastures of the 'Terra Chá' (Flat Lands) that will lead us to the capital of the area, the market town of Vilalba market.
+ 160 m ascent. - 200 m descent. Time: 5 hours
Day 5. Vilalba-Baamonde. Distance 20,7 km. Transfer to Vilalba.
From Vilalba, the Camino crosses the heart of the Terra Chá region of Galicia. We will cross the Magdalena and Trimaz rivers, with submerged vegetation, until reaching San Xoan de Alba. We will walk forest roads, small agricultural villages and lush countryside to reach the quiet village of Baamonde. There we will be picked up and taken to Vilalba.
+ 160 m ascent. - 200 m descent. Time: 5 hours
Day 6. Baamonde - A Roxica. Distance 25 km. Transfer to Arzua with a stop in Sobrado dos Monxes.
Third and last day in highlands before starting the descent way to Santiago de Compostela. Varied landscape with riverine vegetation, deciduous forests and a somewhat undulating relief dotted, in the distance, by several mountains that divide the landscape.
Perhaps one of the most solitary stages of "the way", where we can lose the sense of time and space.
Upon arrival at A Roxica, we will be waiting for a transfer that will take us to Sobrado dos Monxes where we can visit the Monastery of Santa María de Sobrado dos Monxes. Later, transfer to Arzúa where we will spend the night.
