This is one of the prettiest stages of the route, not in vain, many pilgrims indeed initiate its peregrination in the Sanctuary of the Cebreiro. If the luck gives a cleared day, because it is zone of fog, the views from this summit are wonderful. From the Cebreiro the pilgrim can go by the border of the highway which it goes to Triacastela or to take a footpath to the left, that runs by an pleasant forest, and although it ascends to a small hill, is much more attractive this last alternative. A slight reduction takes us to Liñares, small locality that is crossed by the centre and to the left of the highway. It is followed by asphalt and in one kilometre the Alto of San Roque is reached, where a great monument to the pilgrim, forces to make a shutdown and a photo for the memory.

From this point, a track to the right is taken, specially designed for pilgrims, without leaving it the traveller will arrive at Triacastela passing before by the small localities of Hospital, Alto do Poio, Fonfría y Viduedo.

Until the Alto Do Poio it is a smooth and continuous ascent, excepting the last 500 meters that are of a great hardness. Of the Poio to Triacastela it is a permanent reduction, smooth until Viduedo and with greater inclination from this last population until the end. This final section of 6,5 kilometres, the footpath is transformed into a magnify viewpoint, the sight recreates and the pilgrim feels that flies. The sensation is only explained living it.

Before arriving at Triacastela goes through two tiny populations: Filloval and As Pasantes. In the entrance of this last one, a old and enormous Chestnut tree receives the pilgrims. Finally, it is acceded to the goal, by a Corredoira (little road) paved with stones between chestnut trees and shrubs that give shelter and good shade.

Nine kilometres, towards deepest of the valley, always by asphalt, separate Triacastela of the Monastery of Samos, passing by the small towns of San Cristóbal, Lusio, Renche y San Martín el Real.
