As Cruces variant: 32 km to Sobrado

From Baamonde there is another way to Sobrado: through Parga, O Vilar and As Negradas. It is 32 km, 8 fewer than via Miraz. The Xunta waymarked it in 2017. It leaves this stage’s route at Toar (Sambreixo), after the chapel of San Alberte.

It has fewer services and no albergue in the official register. Where to sleep in Parga, according to the Xunta accommodation register (1 October 2026):

  Shared rooms for 5 with a bathroom: €23 per person. They also have private rooms from €75. Prices include breakfast and a small packed lunch to take away (2026 prices, given by Parga Natura on 19 and 23 October 2026).
• La Cuevona · village house, in O Covelo · 12 beds · 657 985 564
