Santiago de Compostela is abandoned, starting from the spectacular and unique Plaza do Obradoiro, until the Rua das Hortas, throu the transit from the Hostal de los Reyes Catholics and the Pazo de Raxoi. On our left the church of San Frucutoso crowned by four statues representing the cardinal virtues, and continue down this street that extends along Avenida das Hortas, Poza bar and Rua de San Lorenzo de Trasouto, ancient medieval Franciscan monastery From here the road runs between beautiful oak groves, eucalyptus and rural villages dotted along the valley beside the river Sar, reaching the Alto do Vento, from where a descent into Agua pesada starts. Once here you start a steep ascent to Carballo, to then begin a descent to Ponte Maceira; and enjoy its medieval bridge over the river Tambre, with its windmills and cobbled streets. Later we climb a paved stretch to A Chancela, to finish the stage in Negreira, where we can see very different styles, from Romanesque to contemporary, through Gothic and baroque, mixed with varied civil architecture such as granaries and mills.
