The Holy Bath and the Sorrow of the Dead. Ribeira Sacra

A different look at the always spectacular Ribeira Sacra.

Description

The "secret route" of the Ribeira Sacra, an ancient path used by pilgrims and as a trade route before the construction of the Sil reservoirs, takes us through a place steeped in legend: an anthropomorphic tomb with miraculous fountains, the Pena dos Difuntos (Dead Man's Penalty), where hundreds of coffins rested on their way to the cemetery, leaving a mark in the shape of a cross carved on it; ancient terraces for vines; stories of guerrillas; an abandoned village; and superhuman flora and landscape.

Medium difficulty route.
