Caldas de Reis → Padrón

A flat and peaceful stage connecting two towns with Jacobean history. The path follows rural trails through vineyards and forests, crossing the Umia river. You pass through Valga and Pontecesures, where tradition says the boat carrying the Apostle body landed. Padrón is famous for its peppers (padrón peppers — some are hot, some are not) and the Church of Santiago, beneath whose main altar the pedrón is preserved — the mooring stone of the apostolic boat. From here you connect with the spiritual route to Santiago.
