Camino de Invierno Stage 4

We leave Quiroga by the right bank of the Sil (you can also go through San Clodio, Ribas de Sil, and cross the bridge later to return to this route). We pass the town of Espandariz (the N-120 road) and by O Pontido. We cross San Lourenzo de Nocedo. The route continues along stretches of the LU-933 provincial road. We arrive at the Hermitage of Los Remedios and go down to the course of the River Lor through the town of O Carballo de Lor. The river, which flows down crystal clear from the Serra do Courel, regales us with its snaking progress, boxed in by the valley. We cross it over a magnificent medieval bridge. We enter the Municipality of A Pobra do Brollón. We pass by Barxa de Lor and ascend to O Castro and A Lama. On the right there are remains of the Roman gold mine of O Medo. Then we reach Castroncelos. Then we arrive at A Pobra do Brollón and find Brollón, the origin of the town, together with the lush landscapes of the River Saa.
