Stage
Caldas de Reis → Padrón
Ease of walking: Easy to moderate; largely minor roads and footpaths with well-marked wayfinding.
The walk to Padrón crosses the Umia valley and passes historic bridges such as the picturesque Ponte Maceira before arriving at the town associated with the arrival of Saint James. Padrón's riverside setting and markets make it a characterful place to pause before the final stage.

Riverside scenery, stone bridges and small agricultural plots interspersed with woodland.
