At the exit of Portomarín and after crossing the highway, a branch of the dam by a footbridge is crossed and immediately afterwards the pilgrim goes up by the slope of this ford that is well populated with pines. About two kilometres, the Way follows the course of the highway until reaching the population of Gonzar.

A first small ascent, soon tour to the left and closely together the traveller is in the following population: Castromayor, in whose entrance and to the right a centennial eucalyptus it can be appreciated. After crossing the village it is necessary to surpass a strong ascent before leaving again to the highway that leads to Hospital de la Cruz

The exit of Hospital is opposite of the refuge and is somewhat confused. First it is necessary to cross the highway of Orense, later the pilgrim has to raise to the right by the incorporation track and finally to twist to the left to take the little road that leads to Ventas de Narón. In the same way it is arrived at Ligonde and Eireche, very near populations to each other.

Before arriving at Eireche a solitary house in a meadow gives meals, sandwiches and drinks to all pilgrims that it needs it. It is necessary to walk other 5 long kilometres by this waved earth, to reach Avenostre, and from there the taveller will pass for corredoiras, surpassing the small Alto del Rosario, to descend next towards the end of the stage: Palas de Rei, that also was final of the penultimate stage of Codex Calixtinus.
