Practical tips
No bars from Betanzos to Meangos: carry food and water. The Cos to Presedo road is narrow with almost no shoulder. Cross the AC-542 at As Travesas with care.
Along the way
Presedo and the uplands
Quiet hamlets, stone granaries ('hórreos') and fields of corn.

A tiny place where a medieval pilgrim hospital once stood. The branch from A Coruña joins here.
