Services

Most services are along the road at the start of town, opposite the church. The name — Avelas do Caminho — tells you this village has been on the pilgrim road for a long time. A marker near the chapel of Henrique Marques Moura claims 303 km to Santiago; the actual distance is somewhat different.

The Camino:

Leave town on the opposite side of the N1, turning left at the chapel with the bust of Henrique Maroues Moura. A maker here proclaims rather incorrectly that it is 303km to Santiago.Between here and Aguada de Baixo is a string of hamlets (no service) and a chapel in São João da Azenha.
