Barxa do Lor (also marked as A Ponte on some maps) is a small village at the bridge over the Río Lor. A sign in A Ponte illustrates the route onward to Monforte. No services.

The Camino:

Multiple paths converge in this area, and although most will eventually lead you to Castroncelos, only one is well marked. Shortly after crossing the bridge, a trail splits off to the right — don't take it. Head upward on the wider road instead. It takes several turns, and you'll feel like you're going the wrong direction as it zigzags, but it straightens out eventually, with the N-120 visible below to your left.

Ignore all signs for the GR-8.
