A hillside village where the camino takes the least straight path possible through the streets. At the far end, a small fountain set in a wall marks a fork — turn left to visit the Romanesque church (a climb and detour), or turn right to save the effort and continue along the road.

The Camino:

At the far end of town, where there is a small fountain set in a wall, the camino indicates a left turn. Go that way to visit the Romanesque church, or turn right and save yourself the not-strictly-necessary climb and detour. The camino follows along the paved road until the road turns right to return to the national road; at which point the camino keeps on straight and into the forest. The forest track emerges to a small cluster of homes where you turn right and cross the national road. Follow the narrow road to Lugar do Corgo and beyond.
