What you will find
The best of the stage.
The Louro valley towards Mos and the stretches of pine and eucalyptus woodland.
The chapel of Santiaguiño de Antas, at the highest point of the stage, with a Roman milestone of the Via XIX (the one linking Braga and Astorga) nearby.
Redondela, recognisable from afar by its two large 19th-century railway viaducts.
Our tip. The descent after the chapel is very steep: go slowly and look after your knees. Carry water for the climb.
