Wise Pilgrim APPCastroverde marks the end of the serious descent and the beginning of a different landscape. The terrain ahead is not flat, but compared to the mountains you've crossed it could pass for gently rolling. The farmland that stretches from here to Lugo -- and indeed for the next 80 kilometers, with the exception of Lugo itself -- is some of the most productive in Galicia.
The town's most notable landmark is the Torre de Homenaje, a 20-meter tower that's the only part left standing of the 14th-century castle that gives the town its name. The local church is dedicated to Santiago -- appropriate for the route you're on. A stamp is available at the town hall opposite the church.
Stock up on food here. Apart from vending machines, there's nowhere to eat between Castroverde and Lugo, a distance of 21 kilometers.
Apart from vending machines there are no places to get food between here and Lugo, a distance of 21km. Pack a lunch.
The camino passes through town to the south (left) of the LU-530 and after passing the town hall it joins a trail through a chestnut forest. When it returns to the LU-530 it crosses straight over it (caution!) and turns left to go through a tunnel. It passes through San Miguel do Camiño and an unnamed hamlet before entering Souto de Torres.
