Upon approaching Lugo, the Route passes through Ruitelán, with its Chapel of San Froilán, who, according to popular legends, lived as a hermit here. Further on, travellers arrive at Herrerías (forges), called after the many forges it once had. Later, the Route enters La Faba, from where can be viewed Cebreiro up in the distance. The last village in the region of Leon is Laguna de Castillo.

Pilgrims enter Galicia by Lugo, not far from Santiago. The first village in the region of Lugo along the Route is Cebreiro, with an altitude of 1,300 meters. A group of "pallozas" can be seen -Preromanesque circular houses with straw roofs- and a beautiful Preromanesque temple, from the 9-10 C, containing a Chalice, the Paten of "Santo Milagro" and a precious Romanesque carving of Santa María la Real. The Ethnographic Museum, located in a "palloza" can be visited.
