[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 1076845, member: 537"] The last time I was in Mondoñedo, I was unable to find the newer route which goes over a monte, not a mountain. Here are the GPS tracks for the route “over the monte.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/norte-e30-mondonedo-abadin-73962537[/URL] Here are the GPS tracks for the “on the untraveled asphalt road” route. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/mondonedo-abadin-lugo-camino-de-santiago-del-norte-52294510[/URL] Even if you don’t use GPS, you can compare the two routes by pulling up the maps side by side in your browser. Basic difference I see is that the “monte” route goes to a higher elevation level, but in terms of the total elevation gain, they are pretty similar. That’s because the road route goes up and down a lot, whereas the “monte” route probably just goes up and then down. The road route takes you through villages, but aside from the albergue that is there a few km after Mondoñedo, there are no services on either route (at least there weren’t when I walked). I am not sure what your typical daily distances are, but the 4.5 km difference might make a difference to you, because it makes it easier to go on to one of my favorite Norte albergues, the[URL='https://www.gronze.com/galicia/lugo/paredes-castromaior/albergue-xistral'][B][I] O Xistral[/I][/B][/URL]. It’s 6 kkm beyond Abadín and well worth the added push, IMHO. Let us know what you decide! [/QUOTE]
