Arzúa er en hyggelig by med næsten senge nok til pilgrimme. Hvis du synes, at alt er fyldt, og ikke har lyst til at spendere på et af de mange hoteller i området, bliver Polideportivo (sportshal) ofte brugt til at huse pilgrimme. Mellem her og O Pedrouzo ligger en række meget små galiciske landsbyer af ringe betydning. De lokale i disse områder fortæller dig gerne, uden den mindste tone af ironi eller sarkasme, at "no hay vacas in Galicia" (der er ingen køer i Galicien). Hav den tanke i hovedet, mens du slæber dig gennem en gennemblødt sti på en ellers solrig dag.

Fiesta

Arzúa er berømt for sin ost og afholder en årlig (og tre dage lang) ostefestival i marts. Det har de gjort i 40 år. Bortset fra denne og flere andre verdslige fester fejrer Arzúa Corpus Christi samt Nuestra Señora del Carmen, som fejres den 16. juli.

History

Tetilla-ost: Du har måske set denne besynderligt formede ost i butiksvinduerne. Hvis du har set en forbindelse mellem navnet og formen, tager du ikke fejl. Den blev formet på denne måde af osteproducenterne i protest mod biskoppen i Santiago. På det tidspunkt var Portico de la Gloria (Mester Mateos berømte skulpturer ved katedralens hovedindgang) ved at blive færdiggjort, og biskoppen var utilfreds med det mærkelige smil på profeten Daniels ansigt. Den kloge biskop fulgte hans blik hen over døråbningen og opdagede, at Dronning Esthers barm var blevet forstørret af en fræk skulptør. Daniel beholdt sit smil, Esther fik en reduktion, og vi fik bryst-formet-protest-ost.

The Road

Caminoen forlader Arzúa ad en gangsti, IKKE ad vejen. Hvis du ankommer til hovedtorvet, skal du gå forbi kirken (med ryggen til vejen) og dreje til højre ind på sidegaden. Terrænet er behageligt, en blanding af stier og asfalterede veje gennem små byer og masser af skove. Der er et par stejle sektioner, men ingen af nævneværdig længde.

By far one of the top places we’ve stayed at on our entire camino! We didn’t get a private room or anything! So clean and the bunk beds are separated with walls so you get some privacy every 1 or two bunks. So clean and friendly. The showers are very nice. There’s a very small kitchen as well. Never had a place with shoe driers either but they had one for two pairs at a time!

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant along the Camino with a beautiful view of the valley at 5pm!!! We are Americans and not used to eating late. Always looking for someplace to eat a dinner early. This place had great food and drink. They do not have a pilgrims menu so not inexpensive but still a good value. I would recommend. We tried a lot of different things, shrimp, pork cheeks, calamari, local cheese and two desserts. All delicious. The wine and also Licor de herbas and bebida de espirituosa were very good.

Agree with comment about best hotel on Camino! Better even than hotels I stayed at in San Sebastián and Madrid. Beautiful hotel, excellent service, lovely grounds and a pool, amazing dinner and breakfast. Maybe the only place I would want to stay a second day (although what would I DO in Arzua for a second day?). Highly recommend a splurge here!

The best accommodations, meals, and hosts we have had in the 40 days on the Camino. Thank you Adrian and Roseanna!

It has both private rooms with private baths and others with shared services. Luis the owner & hispitalero is extremely kind and you will quickly understand that he is there mostly for the passion of meeting the peregrinos. The simple though impeccable facilities were just finished in April 2022 replacing a factory that was Luis’ long time previous successful business… Don’t miss the opportunity to ask him about it. His history will definitively be part of your Camino.

I can only assume that Michael’s description of Arzua as “pleasant” was meant to be ironic. It is essentially one long street with a lot of high speed traffic (with many lumber teucks( hurtling through it. The main square has a pleasant cafe, and the pizza restaurant mentioned by other pilgrims is a great place to eat. However the town itself is not attractive at all.
