The route from Fonsagrada to Padron
Walking notes by Rob Steele
Another reasonably short day, the route follows the valley up from Castro before crossing The Alto de Acebo (1030m) and then soon leaves Asturias and crosses into Galicia. The "Way" then undulates through pleasant countryside with small villages and the town of Fonsagrada (All facilities) before dropping into Padron on a mixture of good paths and minor roads Plenty of friendly bars and shops to keep you well supplied with coffee/ lunch and a Pleasant days walking
