Olveiroa – Negreira
From Olveiroa, the Jerusalem Way continues southeast through the quiet, rural landscape of Galicia. Forested hills, small villages, pastures, and the surroundings of several reservoirs characterize this long stage. In the second part, the terrain around the Montes da Pena becomes even more varied before the path descends to Negreira. After the open Atlantic region of the first stage, one already experiences the green, hilly interior of Galicia here – quiet, unspoiled, and away from larger cities.
