when I walked CP last year, I wanted to join CF as late as possible, but still walk as much of CP, so I devised a route linking Vilouriz and Sobrado dos Monxes. what I walked was different from the plans, involving more tarmac, because of the three local paths in the area that I incorporated, I decided to bypass the first going up a hill to a chapel, and after a very overgrown brumbly section of the third decided to skip it and instead stick to the road (which actually became gravel soon). as a reward, I passed a lovely waterfall, a dolmen and several huge mysterios boulders.
in all, it was a fairly long day of 36km, but deducing all the there-and-back overgrown paths, and measuring from the albergue of As Seixas, it comes down to 27km, which is doable.
there was only one fountain en route, at the rest area after O Hospital das Seixas, and no bars or other services. I asked locals for water and had no problems, although some tried to persuade me to stick to the main roads.
with more local knowledge and the cleaning of the waymarked local paths, the distance might be reduced a bit more still and even more tarmac avoided.

and a google still image of the route from As Seixas to Sobrado without the detours.
