Compostilla is the first suburb on the way out of Ponferrada. The name — from Compostella, or Compostela — suggests its historical connection to the pilgrim route. A few bars and shops line the road. The walking is urban but the arrows are clear.

The Road

Continue through the suburbs toward Columbrianos and Fuentes Nuevas. The route follows a mix of paths and minor roads through the urban fringe.

Enjoyed a stop here in the morning for coffee con Leche and tostada with extra-virgin olive oil. What a fun place! It seems popular with the locals too.
