The heights of As Estibadas (849 m) await us. Farther on, Viladerrei and Trasmiras (the municipal capital). The most genuine popular architecture continues to define these Stages of the Camino. The villages on the plains have resisted wind and the rigour of the sun which blazes fiercely in summer. Sometimes it appears to be a Castilian landscape rather than the land of Galicia.
