The ground behind you: what the walk into Gontán crosses, and where it could have been broken.
Tomorrow from Gontán
Nothing says you have to stop here, or there. These are simply the towns within a comfortable day's walk, so you can decide tonight.
| Town | km from here | Shared | Private | The walk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abadín | 1.1 | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | |
| As Paredes - Castromaior | 7.0 | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | |
| Vilalba | 22.1 | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | The walk from Gontán to Vilalba |
| Pedrouzos | 29.5 | — No | ✓ Yes | The walk from Gontán to Pedrouzos |
The two routes from Mondoñedo converge here. Gontán was once a major trading post and crossroads but has seen little growth since — it's overshadowed by nearby Abadín.
At the end of Gontán there is a small covered fountain opposite a sort of plaza/parking lot. Turn right to cross the parking lot and continue along the road on the opposite side, passing the Loran factory. This road ends at a junction, where you turn right and uphill to follow a pedestrian path up to the N-634 as it enters Abadín. Simply follow the curve of the road to the right.

Everyone loves commenting that these kitchens have nothing. This is nothing new. Every Xunta albergue in Galicia is like this if you don’t like it stay somewhere else.
