San Alberte Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Santo Alberte Bridge, also known as Ponte de San Alberte, is a medieval gem located in the municipality of Guitiriz (Lugo), over the Parga River, in the heart of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve.
Although believed to have Roman origins, the current structure is Gothic in style, built in the 14th century and renovated in the 18th century and again in 2006.

Monastery of Saint Mary of Sobrado

Highlight • Religious Site

Large complex that reached its peak in the s. XV and XVI. Abandoned in the last century, it was reoccupied and restored at the end of the 1950s. The current church is Baroque, from the 17th century. The Madalena and Rosario chapels stand out, as well as the Renaissance sacristy (the work of Juan de Herrera). . The three cloisters, the hostelry, the processions and the large one, the chapter house, its spectacular kitchen and dining room, complete the main rooms.

Alternative Camino del Norte

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For this route you branch off soon after the railway and river crossing to Baamondo from the main route of the Camino and follow small paved roads through very beautiful landscape. Also on this route you cross the highest point of the Camino del Norte, but must "only" up to about 650m up to a ridge with many wind turbines. If you do not mind their noise, a good place for a PicNic would be here in good weather. You do not get any food on this route. Only at the end, when you come to the larger road is the village of As Cruzes where there may be something. So for foot pilgrims, the way can be long! For cyclists an ideal alternative!

Beautiful lunch spot by the river

Highlight • River

A wonderful piece of grassland by the river, allowing for wild camping, resting up, swimming or just having a snack. Leave no trace of your visit!

Break at Rio de Parga

Highlight • River

At the river you can sit in the shade of the trees and take a break. You have a great view of an old stone bridge and can explore the nearby chapel.
