Tips from the Community
The Os Grobos Forest, located between the municipalities of Becerreá and As Nogais (Lugo), is one of Galicia's most magical and secret corners, ideal for nature and fantasy lovers. It is a karst landscape with limestone rock formations shaped by moisture and the passage of time, covered in moss and surrounded by chestnut trees, oaks, ferns, and ivy.

Of course, at this border—of which the pilgrim has already crossed several on his long journey through northern Spain—it is especially wonderful to have (finally) reached Galicia. This makes us realize that we are slowly but surely approaching the destination of the great and beautiful, but naturally also strenuous, pilgrimage route: the tomb of the Apostle James the Greater in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.

Famous pass, feared by medieval pilgrims, practically connects the Bierzo with Galicia. The climb from Villafranca del Bierzo is no joke, but doable. Just take it easy.

One of the most beautiful places on the Way of St. James is this church on the O Ceibero. When you are there, you should definitely light a candle and read the pilgrim's prayer to reflect on yourself and the path.
