Medieval seat of the Andrade lords, reached over a long bridge whose predecessor held a pilgrim hospital at its midpoint. The 14th-century Torreón now houses the tourist office, which stamps credentials.
Seaside town on the Betanzos ría with a long dune-backed beach, the Praia Grande. The pilgrim albergue sits near the sand, a signposted detour off the Camino, making Miño a relaxed alternative overnight.
Cluster of houses by the N-651 in the parish of Viñas, just past the Gothic bridge over the Lambre. Take the short detour to Romanesque San Pantaleón das Viñas, then brace for the steep Costa de Matacabalos.
Rural parish in Paderne at the top of the Costa de Matacabalos. A pilgrim hospital stood nearby from around 1445, and the route ahead passes 12th-century San Martiño de Tiobre with views over Betanzos.
Walled medieval town where Fernán Pérez de Andrade lies in a Gothic tomb carried by a stone bear and boar. Once a provincial capital of the Kingdom of Galicia, it's also Spain's byword for runny tortilla.
