We set off from the historic town and port of Ribadeo. The city stands atop a natural vantage point overlooking the ría. It boasts a noble past and offers a fascinating blend of medieval and modern architecture. The trail follows an old route – perhaps Roman or late Roman – to the end of the stage in Lourenzá.
