Taking the Trabadelo road we come across Cela and Sotelo. In this last town, the route deviates along church street to ascend a forest track that leads to the summit of the Cuatro Camino hill (1,262 m). On the other side of the hill, we descend between mountains covered with heather and regenerated oak. This section ends in the village of Cantejeira, where the asphalt resumes to continue descending to Balboa, the end of the stage and the route.
