From here we drive on tarmac to Mercadoiro (km 17), passing through several villages, from here we continue on a tarmac track to Vilach\u00e1 passing through Moutr\u00e1s and Parrocha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that remains is a sharp and rapid descent along dirt tracks to the Portomar\u00edn reservoir on the river Mi\u00f1o, whose village (built new because the old village lies under the waters of the reservoir, except for the church which was transported stone by stone to the new village) is reached after crossing the long bridge over the reservoir and a short but tough climb to the village square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To leave Portomar\u00edn we climb up to San Antonio mountain for 1 km, where the path becomes flat through pine woods, which after a descent brings us to Gonzar (km 30) and from here a further climb of 1 km to Castromaio. Now there is a tough but short climb of 700 metres until we reach the road, which we will cross several times to reach Hospital dela Cruz (km 34).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will now take the hard shoulder of a road for 10 km in a continuous up and down that will not stop until we reach Pals de Rei, passing through Ventas de Nar\u00f3n, Ligonde, Airexe, Portos, Lestedo and Brea, where we leave the track after 10 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we ride parallel to the road passing through Avenostre, O Rosario and we reach Palas de Rei (km 48).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We leave Palas de Rei through a continuous passage through villages until we reach a path of eucalyptus and oak trees that leads us to San Xuli\u00e1n do Cami\u00f1o. From here we reach Pontecampa\u00f1a via a beautiful 1 km long corridor, and after 2 km of spectacular scenery we arrive at Casanova (km 54). From here in a continuous up and down we leave the province of Lugo and enter the province of A Coru\u00f1a and its first town Ocoto, which gives way to Leboreiro and San Xo\u00e1n de Furelos and 2 km further on we reach Melide (km 63) (do not forget to eat octopus a feira in Ezequiel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We enter a forest of eucalyptus trees and innumerable corridors in a continuous leg-breaker, leading us to the end of the stage, passing first through the villages of Casta\u00f1eda where we take a tarmac track to Ribadiso da Baixo, from where we ascend for 3 km on tarmac until we reach Arzua, the end of our stage through the lands of Lugo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stages:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Stage 1.
