A Fonsagrada is a town and municipality in the province of Lugo in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwest Spain which is 25 miles east-north-east of Lugo by road. Its population in 2004 was 5,007. A Fonsagrada is situated 3,166 feet (965 m) above sea-level on the watershed between the rivers Rodil and Suarna. Historically it was an important market for a variety of agricultural produce, and it manufactured linen and frieze for local trading.[1]

The history of Fonsagrada (traditional name) is linked to the pilgrimage Camino de Santiago. A variant of the Way, the Camino Primitivo, (the original path) goes through the municipality.
