[QUOTE="Mark Francis Auchincloss, post: 1208999, member: 25181"] Thanks for reminder [USER=537]@peregrina2000[/USER] must stop there as I've passed the giant rock a number of times in the past, it's just off Camino to the right (as is a Castro). Thing is it's not easy to spot where the individual petroglyphs are situated, they depict weaponry. You may find that frustrating but if you're a patient person? It's sad that in Galicia many of these sites end up getting damaged for example people take castes of them or steal them! The stage from Finisterre to Muxia is best done in two stages so you can enjoy Lires, which is a very special place especially its wild, beautiful beach. It's such a peaceful, uplifting place no need to rush by. There's a few great places to stay there too with great food and wine! Pedra do Brazal is also called [URL='https://maps.app.goo.gl/nzTte2fZhLjgjjPm7']Pedra Cabalgada[/URL] and again having passed nearby I didn't take the small detour to see it but it's well worth it despite all that climbing up to Hospital ! Yes lots of interesting sites on the way like medeival bridge over River Roxos, Augapesada Roman Bridge, Santa Maria de Trasmonte Church, Ponte Maceira Bridge (one of the most memorable stops) Ermida/Capilla de San Brais, San Xulian Church, Pazo do Coton, Monument to the Immigrant, San Mauro Chapel...that's just the first stage!! I would go up the hill to see the Monte Aro viewpoint near Vilar do Castro, most pilgrims don't. The views on a clear day are amazing. After your petroglyphs there's the new statue Vakner, so prepare yourself !! Then there's the Chapel da Neves with picnic area which is a good place to take stack of the Camino. Before you know it you drop steeply down to Cee then on to Corcubion and Finisterre (there's a route from Cee along the coast all the way to Finisterre rather than following the yellow arrows which go inland a lot). Then its's all the usual sights to Muxia. [/QUOTE]
