The ride
From Negreira you roll out past the manor of Concello de Negreira and follow the Albariña, Barcala and Donas rivers one after another. The route then skirts the Esteiro do Tambre nature reserve before a castle, the Pazo do Cotón, marks the way back. All 71.0 km are paved, with 1204 m of climbing to keep the legs honest. It ends where it began, in Negreira.
