Sanabres Way

There are two possibilities to continue to Santiagoonce in Galician territory. The shortest one goes through A Gudiña and Laza, while the one that goes through Verín adds some kilometres, being this one much more recommendable for cyclists because it runs mostly along the national road. The latter connects with the interior variant of the Portuguese Way, specifically in the border town of Chaves. Most of the route is well signposted, as it is one of the oldest and most historic routes ofall the Ways leading to Santiago.
