Is Vigo to Padron really steep?

Time of past OR future Camino
Planning on doing the coastal route from Porto in May 2019
I'm looking to ride a road bike along the coast and move inland to Padron then finish in Santiago de Compostela starting possibly on May 12th. The leg of the trip that I'm struggling with is Vigo to Padron as it looks like it has multiple 200m elevation changes which I'm not sure I'm fit enough to ride.

I've considered taking a ferry from Vigo but every route still seems to include multiple 200m elevation changes.

I'm looking for input from those that have walked this section, is it really multiple 200m elevation changes? Do you have any suggestion of a different route that would minimise the elevation changes?
