A Fonsagrada → O Cádavo
A stage of the Camino Primitivo
Continuing through the Galician interior, this 23-kilometre Camino Primitivo stage descends more than it climbs — 638 metres down against 419 metres up — following the quiet rural valleys of Lugo province toward the small town of O Cádavo. The challenging rating reflects the cumulative effort after several demanding days in the mountains; the terrain here is greener and more pastoral than the high Asturian stages, with hamlets, meadows, and the stone-walled lanes characteristic of rural Galicia.
