A steep descent with views of the Ría (Sea Inlet) of Corcubión leads towards Cee, the first town of the region reached by the pilgrim. Cee is the largest municipality on the Costa da Morte; it has notable commercial activity and a busy Sunday market. We reach the centre of the town through Campo Sacramento and Rúa Magdalena.

Nearby is Corcubión, which conserves an old quarter declared to be a historical-artistic complex. Taking Calle San Marcos, we arrive at a beautiful Church of the same name, built in the Maritime Gothic style at the end of the XV century. In its interior is conserved an image of the patron of the town made at the end of the XV century or beginning of the XVI century in the north of Italy ".
