From Penasillás, a series of secondary roads takes you through Mouricios, Ferreiros, Mundín, and San Vicente, with about 180 m of ascent compared to 420 m on the main camino. You rejoin the camino at the intersection of the PO-533 and CG-2.1.
Most pilgrims who've done the main route say the ascent isn't bad at all and the views from Monte Faro are worth it. The long slog through the windmill farm isn't everyone's cup of tea, however.
Follow secondary roads from Penasillás through Mouricios, Ferreiros, Mundín, and San Vicente. Rejoin the camino where it crosses the PO-533 highway.
