Camino Portugués Stage 6

The route departs along Dolores Street, crossing the Sar River before coming to Iria Flavia, today the municipality of Padrón. This was once a Roman city and later an episcopal see until the 11 th century. After passing the foundation of Nobel Prize in Literature winner Camilo José Cela (who is buried opposite, in the cemetery of Santa María Collegiate Church in Adina), the route crosses the N-550 (we can take the way that diverts us to the right to avoid traffic). The Sar Valley is home to traditional small village such as A Pousa, O Souto, O Rueiro, Cambelas and Anteportas. We come to the Sanctuary of A Escravitude. Behind it lie the valleys of Padrón and magnificent views of the lands of Amaía. The route then descends to A Angueira de Suso, followed by O Faramello and the pilgrim hostel at Teo (another accommodation option). It then climbs up to Rúa de Francos and then Osebe.
