Vía de la Plata Stage 9

We travel the first metres along the N-525 highway. We enter Vilasoa and teach Prado, from where we can take a diversion in order to visit the Marian Sanctuary of O Corpiño. Returning to the Camino, we pass A Borralla and, farther on, we will cross the authentic medieval bridge of Taboada over the River Deza, a tributary of the River Ulla. We ascend to the parish of Taboada and then to the town of Trasfontao, until we reach the municipal capital, Silleda. Silleda is an outstanding locality in the interior of the province of Pontevedra, known for holding the “Green Week of Galicia” in its enormous fair pavilion, as well as the international tourism fair, “Turisport”. We leave Silleda by a dirt road on the left of the N-525 highway. O Foxo and Chapa will be the next two towns. We move on to A Bandeira, A Codeseira, Piñeiro and Castrovite (a municipality of A Estrada ). [Stage details] Start: Bendoiro · End: Outeiro 33.6 km · about 7h 05min · difficulty medium
