Stage
Ease of walking: Moderate — long, often exposed upland walking on country roads and tracks.
This farther stage continues across high Galician plateaus to the transport hub of A Gudiña, with opportunities for services and onward connections. The landscape remains upland and sparsely populated.
Peatlands, mountain pasture and scattered small villages in open high country.
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
