Stage: Neda - Miño
Miño is a delightful coastal town whose population increases significantly during the summer months. The pilgrim hostel is located near the sea.
Neda- Fene
Leaving Neda behind, the route continues through O Regueiro, O Puntal de Arriba and Conces to Fene, an industrial municipality famous for being the location of the ASTANO shipyard, whose name stands for Astilleros y Talleres del Noroeste (Shipyards and Shops of the Northwest). Its enormous crane is a major feature of the local landscape.

Fene- Cabanas
When the route leaves town, it joins up with the king’s highway. We stroll around the Vilar do Colo business park and, a little further on, Cabanas.
Fene - Cabanas
Cabanas- Pontedeume
Cabanas is located on the Eume River estuary. A Madalena Beach is the perfect place to take a break – or a summer swim – before continuing along the promenade, crossing the bridge and entering Pontedeume. This important location on the pilgrimage route was founded by King Alfonso X in 1270.
