Wise Pilgrim APPCampobecerros sits in a valley at the bottom of the mountain descent from La Gudina. The village grew thanks to the construction of the Zamora-Ourense railway line, and before the railway was built, the local economy revolved around charcoal production -- the inhabitants were carboeiros, burning peat for fuel.
There are bars and basic services here, making it a natural stopping point in the middle of the La Gudina to Laza stretch. After the long, exposed mountain walk from the vendas, a coffee and a bocadillo hit differently.
The valley setting is pleasant and the village has a few stone houses worth admiring if you're taking a break.
The camino follows the road to Porto Camba (3.3 km) and then picks up a trail to the hamlet of As Eiras.
