Stage: Alto do Acevo-Paradavella
A lovely spot covered in snow during the harsh seasons and lush vegetation with sharp contrasts during the milder months. Fonfría and its freshwater spring are our first destination.
Alto do Acevo- Fonfría
The Primitive Route enters Galicia via the mountain pass at O Acevo (1,030 m). It is a lovely spot covered in snow during the harsh seasons and lush vegetation with sharp contrasts during the milder months. From here it is 171 km to Santiago. Fonfría and its freshwater spring are our first destination.
Alto do Acevo - Fonfría
Fonfría- Paradanova
This was home to a major pilgrim hospital located on land held by San Xoán de Paradanova, which was still operating at the start of the 20th century. We pass through Barbeitos and then Paradanova, where there are two alternatives: one running through San Xoán de Padrón and the other via A Proba de Burón.
