Passing the Alto da Vacariza, we get to Vilabade, where there was a Franciscan community for attending pilgrims since the middle of the 15th century. The Gothic church of that convent is still preserved and was declared national monument. It dates from the 15th century and has an only nave and presbytery covered by ribbed vault and restored in the 17th century by Diego Osorio Escobar, Archbishop of Puebla and Viceroy of Mexico.

Near A Fonsagrada, we find San Xoán de Padrón with a church from the 18th century and Montouto, where the way is only one again.
The original itinerary of the Way is the one of Pobra de Burón, A Puebla, the main point in the history of the Primitive Way. In the 13th century, people already talk about the ‘Camiño d´Ovedo’.
