Services

Entrimo has the same two supermarket chains as Lobios — a Spar and an Aliprox — and several establishments that will stamp credentials (look for the sticker on the door). A stone rococo church is the highlight of the town, with an ornate facade that seems out of proportion to the size of the village.

The town has a pleasant, lived-in feel and enough services to make it a reasonable overnight stop. If you need supplies, don't pass on the opportunity — the next stretch is remote.

History:

Entrimo's municipality spans the Baixa Limia, a region that has been a borderland for centuries. The area's strategic position between Portugal and Galicia made it a center for both trade and smuggling. The ornate church speaks to the wealth that passed through here, even if the population has always been modest.

The Camino:

After recrossing the border back into Portugal, waymarking is poor and GPS tracks are needed. After passing (but not crossing) a medieval bridge and joining a paved road about 3 km from Castro Laboreiro, there are two options: the more direct route on the road, or a 5.7 km alternative on a path — the beginning of which is signposted on the other side of the road.
