Pedrafita do Cebreiro

O Cebreiro            

The pilgrim entered Galicia from Leon through the town called Cebreiro. He could either go on towards Lugo or take the route again in Palas de Rei. However, the true route followed the highest and steepest mountains to reach the Sanctuary of O Cebreiro at 1300 metres high. In this place, there was a monastery that was founded in the ninth century and run by the monks of San Giraldo de Aurillac for 400 years.
