Camino de Invierno Stage 5

We leave Monforte by the medieval bridge, the Campo de San Antonio and the old Rúa Abeledos. We alternate stretches of road (the LU-P-3204) with tracks. We arrive at A Vide and then A Lagoa, Os Campos and Pacios. In the rainy season floods are frequent in parts of these parts of these stretches which are completely flat. We then reach Moreda. After Moreda (its fortress rises on the right) we enter the Municipality of Pantón. In O Reguengo we are surprised by its magnificent Pazo (Manor House); in Castrotañe, the surprise lies in the stones of the track, which may come from a Roman road. Outstanding in Piñeiro is the popular architecture of its square, fountain and washing place. In Castillón, there are more Roman remains. We continue on shaded by the huge shadows of the oak trees and we go on by O Outeiriño, Virís, O Camiño Grande and A Barxa, now in the lands of O Saviñao.
