In addition to the famous yellow arrow, these milestones help to identify the Camino without difficulty, as they are located in strategic places, such as crossroads and detours.<\/p>\n<p>The town of R\u00edbadeo, an important tourist enclave and municipal capital, is the starting point of the Northern Way on its way into Galicia. Ribadeo is the gateway to the northernmost pilgrimage route that links the sanctuaries of Oviedo and Santiago de Compostela; it should be remembered that between the 13th and 18th centuries it was considered the &#8220;defense of the Cantabrian Sea&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>At the exit of the coastal village you have to go to Obe, to head towards the mountain of Santa Cruz, where the hermitage of Santa Cruz is located.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caminosantiagoacaballo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/camino-del-norte-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/p>\n<p>The North Road then leads to Vilela, Cedofeita and continues to Lourenz\u00e1, Cubelas, Vilamart\u00edn, Vilanova, Gond\u00e1n and Curveiro.

The road passes through the neighborhood of Os Mu\u00ed\u00f1os, r\u00faa de Sind\u00edn, which communicated with the urban core inside the city walls and which, in truth, was the royal road that entered the city. In Mondo\u00f1edo there are other historical buildings such as churches, hospitals or palaces that embellish the streets and squares of the city.<\/p>\n<p>On the outskirts of the convent of San Marti\u00f1o de Vilalourente, &#8220;Os Picos&#8221; (18th century). Vilalba can now compete with the attraction of the city of Lugo, helping to make a shorter route to Compostela. This low medieval road leaves Mondo\u00f1edo to ascend towards the small villages of San Caetano through Vali\u00f1adares and Mariz. The medieval road continues along the bottom of the valley bathed by the river Vali\u00f1adares, passing through the places of Vali\u00f1a, Pacios and Lousada&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It then continues to P\u00e9da Ponte, As corgas, Gont\u00e1n, Pobecende and enters the town of Abad\u00edn. From Abad\u00edn, the Way passes through the Terra Ch\u00e1 through the parishes of Castromaior, Goiriz, Ponterroxal, crosses the river Arnela over a medieval bridge, reaches Castromaior and passes over the magnificent medieval bridge of Pontevella, which takes pilgrims through an unpopulated area. The route continues to Santiago following to the small village of O Franc\u00e9s (toponym clearly linked to the phenomenon of pilgrimages to Santiago), continues to As Chonzas and enters Vilalba, From Vilalba, the route continues to Baamonde, leaving Baamonde by the N-VI road, parallel to the railroad and the Parga river to reach Santa Leocadia de Parga.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caminosantiagoacaballo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/camino-del-norte-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"373\"><\/p>\n<p>The Camino continues through Ponte Leijosa and reaches Santiago de Miraz, Pedramaior and Marco das P\u00edas, bordering the province of Lugo.
