About

A 434.2 km spiritual walk through Galicia's soul. The Camino de Invierno winds from Ponferrada to Lalín, a route forged when snow cloaked the high passes. The Templar Castle stands sentinel, while the whisper of ancient Roman gold mines at Las Médulas tells tales of ambition. Seven stages, 3,914 meters of elevation gain, this is no casual stroll. The Sil River canyon hums with the rustle of terraced vines, and rural villages reveal traditions in time. Here, seekers chase not just a destination, but the very essence of Galicia itself.
