The Vía de la Plata / CAMINO SANABRÉS
in GALICIA
Vía de la Plata Map 25
The camino emerges onto a paved road at the alto and almost immediately leaves it, turning left to descend along another track. It passes through the hamlet of A Canda (1.4km) and soon begins its descent into Vilavella, passing beneath a railway line along the way.
From here...
Note that both bars are off the camino, uphill from the camino. The same goes for the Hotel. This is the only option to fill up between Lubián and La Gudiña.
The camino descends to O Pereiro (3.8km) and then climbs to O Cañizo (5.3km). It then joins the N-525 as it enters La Gudiña.
