Fonfría village

Alto do Poio

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Alto do Poio is crowned at 1,335 meters and represents the end of the agony for the pilgrims who come from previously doing the Alto do Cebreiro and the Alto de San Roque.
Here you will find a hostel and a hostel with bar service, so you can enjoy a reward by having a drink on one of its terraces and regaining strength before facing the descent.
The landscape, both going up and down, is unforgettable.

Nice section next to the old national highway that runs through the beautiful municipality of Las Herrerías de Valcarce and Vega de Valcarce, giving us beautiful views. It is a place of passage of the French Way.

Pilgrim Monument in Triacastela

Highlight • Monument

The Pilgrim Monument in Triacastela is a significant place on the French Camino de Santiago. It is located near the public hostel and consists of a large stone monolith with a red sword cross and a smaller statue of a pilgrim carved in wood. This monument commemorates the medieval tradition that pilgrims carried a lime stone from Triacastela to Arzúa to make lime for the Cathedral of Santiago. I hope this information is useful to you! 😊
