El Camino de Invierno sale de Ponferrada y evita la nieve de O Cebreiro siguiendo el valle del Sil. Es la única ruta que atraviesa las cuatro provincias gallegas.

Un camino de contrastes: Las Médulas (Patrimonio Mundial), la Ribeira Sacra con sus cañones y monasterios, Monforte de Lemos y Lalín. Poco transitado y muy auténtico. Reconocido por la Xunta en 2016.

Who it's for
