The Portela da Canda Pass, also known as the Canda Pass or simply A Canda, is a mountain pass of great geographical, historical, and cultural value that connects Galicia (province of Ourense) with Castile and León (province of Zamora). Located in the Sierra Segundera mountain range, within the Galician Massif, it has traditionally been a crossing point for travelers, merchants, and pilgrims. It forms part of the Sanabrés Way of St. James, an extension of the Silver Route (Vía de la Plata), and is the entry point into Galicia for pilgrims coming from the south. The surrounding area features Jacobean sculptures and wayside crosses (cruceiros) that guide the route, the work of the artist Nicanor Carballo.
