Portomarin to Ventas de N

A beautiful, cool morning greeted us as we left Portomarin, beginning a steady 700-meter climb through peaceful woodlands and quiet country roads.

We crossed the Mino Basin and passed through the small village of Toxibo, before enjoying a well-earned break at a cozy roadside café in Gonzar—an ideal mid-morning stop. Over coffee and tea, Joanne shared a lovely FaceTime call with Karen Ferg, a warm moment that added joy to our journey.

Refreshed, we pressed on through the tranquil uphill path toward Castromaior. At the peak, we were rewarded with sweeping views of the countryside—one of those moments that fills the soul.

Eventually, we arrived at Ventas de Naron, where a satisfying lunch and a well-deserved rest awaited. We wrapped up our day by arranging a transfer to our farm stay, a welcoming country home at Monterroso nestled in the Galician hills.Læs mere
