O Castro (Dozón) is abandoned by a paved track parallel to
the national N-525, going up towards the Santo Domingo stop and then down
towards the Santo Domingo hermitage.
The Camino continues parallel to the road
until kilometer 280, where it deviates onto a path that crosses the village of
Puxallos, where the San Roque chapel is located, and continues to Pontenoufe.
The Camino now descends towards the Asneiro river, which is
crossed by a bridge, later taking a detour to the right towards A Xesta. From
here, the green and rural landscapes surround the Camino, which passes through
the places of Botos and Doisón, where there are some services for pilgrims.
Less than 2 kilometers separate Botos from the next town, A
Laxe, where there are different services and a pilgrims' hostel for those who
choose to spend the night there. The road continues again in parallel to the
national road, with more than 9 kilometers separating A Laxe from Silleda, but
which are bearable thanks to the beautiful places that are crossed, such as
Prado and Puente de Taboada, over the Deza river.
After crossing the bridge, you have to start a climb towards
the train station and cross a series of villages in the direction of
Transfontao, from where you continue to Silleda. This town, the end of the
stage, has a rich natural and artistic heritage, as well as all kinds of
services for pilgrims.
