Stage Description
This stage is a half-mountain day that continues through rural Galicia. The profile is a continuous up and down, a "stretcher" that runs along forest trails and "laneways". The landscape is of serene beauty, with forests and meadows. Arrival in the small village of O Padrón, with its church and peaceful atmosphere, offers an authentic rest in the heart of Galicia's deepest region.
The stage between A Fonsagrada and O Padrón is a half-mountain day that traverses a beautiful landscape. The profile is a continuous rise and fall, without great passes but with considerable accumulated slope. The road runs on dirt tracks and the typical "corredoiras" Galician, paths sunk in the ground flanked by stone walls. The landscape is a mosaic of green meadows, oak and beech forests, and small villages scattered. It's an stage to enjoy solitude and rural tranquility. Arrival at the small village of O Padrón, with its church and hostel, is the end of the stage. It's a place of absolute peace, perfect for a restorative break and to enjoy the hospitality of its people.
