Upper Fontfria, summit of the Becerreá mountain range near As Nogais. A good place to stop to rest, have a coffee and eat something before going down to the Navia river valley.

Small and peaceful, it's famous for its cold springs, which have given the area its name and provided relief to pilgrims for centuries. Stone and slate houses and Galician tranquility. Cyclist tip: the climb is noticeable, but drinking from the spring here is heavenly.
