Stage 1: Ponferrada-Las Médulas

STAGE 1. PONFERRADA-LAS MÉDULAS

You leave the hostel and after 200 meters there is a sign for the Winter Way that sends us to the bridge over the Boeza river. We continue by road and then by road to the first town of the day, Toral de Merayo. We will then cross Villalibre de la Jurisdicción and Priaranza until we reach Santalla. About 200 meters before reaching this last town there is a fantastic viewpoint that allows us to contemplate a large part of Bierzo.On a path we reach a hermitage and from here we go up a path to the road. We can continue along it - it is an easier route - or continue along the authentic Camino, ascending to the Cornatel Castle. The excellent signs take us by road to Borrenes. Then we continue, first by road, then by road, and again by road to Las Médulas. The signage is perfect, the pilgrim can hardly get lost at this stage.
