One of the oldest monasteries in the West, dating back to the 6th century and the heart of the Ribeira Sacra region of Lugo. Its large cloister is the largest in Spain, and the complex is impressive both for its size and its history linked to the Camino de Santiago. Arriving via the detour from the French Way is a gift: a peaceful stretch, with a river and picture-perfect vegetation. However, once you leave, you have to climb back… and your legs remember.

A 12th-century Romanesque gem with a façade related to Santiago Cathedral. From its viewpoint, you can admire the Miño River in all its splendor. Cyclist's tip: the climb is tough, but the panoramic views make the climb—and the effort—worth it.

A perfect example of traditional Galician architecture. Stone, wood, and a wealth of history, right in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra. A curious stop to understand how corn was stored... and how we cyclists take advantage of any excuse to stop.

A rare sight! A magical moment! Seeing two bridges from different eras standing side by side. Low water levels make this possible.

Contrary to what the name suggests, this was not the king's palace or residence. It's a lovely little place and good for a break.
