    Small detour from the road to fill the bottle after the first climbs of the day.
    It is worth discovering this original fountain in the shape of the pilgrim's shell.

    The Scallop Fountain in Paradela is an iconic site for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. Paradela, located in the province of Lugo, Galicia, is known for its rich history and connection to the Camino Francés.

    The fountain is a symbol of rest and renewal for pilgrims, and its design includes the famous scallop, the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. In addition to the fountain, Paradela offers other points of interest such as the Church of Santa María de Ferreiros and the Mirador de Santa Marta.
