Camino de invierno (‘Winter Route’) is an alternative path in Galicia that passes through the four provinces. Already used by the Romans, it enters the region from the central plateau and follows the lowlands along the Sil River. Pilgrims who wanted to avoid the hard climb up the snowy hills of O Cebreiro opted for this trail, particularly in the winter. It starts in Ponferrada (León) and runs through Ribeira Sacra and the region of Deza in Pontevedra, where it links with the Southeast Route to Santiago.
