The Central runs inland (Ponte de Lima, Pontevedra, Padrón); the Coastal follows the shoreline via Vigo before joining the Central near Redondela.
Does the Portuguese Way pass through A Estrada?
No. It enters Galicia via Tui and reaches Santiago through Padrón, west of A Estrada. Finca Anduriñas is on the routes that pass through Anduriñas.
