The same great content and more in your pocket, the most up-to-date guidebook to the Camino de Invierno available.
Wise Pilgrim APPA Rúa de Valdeorras has all services — restaurants, markets, wineries, accommodation, and a tourist office with sello, often staffed by local Camino Amigos group members. Stock up here for the next day's walk.
The municipal polideportivo in the riverside Agullón park is currently available for pilgrims. It's 1 km from the town hall — on weekdays, go directly between 3 and 10 pm; on weekends, call the local police at 696 91 75 94. Bar O Refuxio next door is recommended for its BBQ.
Hotel and restaurant O Pillabán (Praza Enriqueta Casanova 11, tel. 988 311 416 / WhatsApp 627 89 10 04) is right on the camino near the church. Rooms for pilgrims are 20 euros, and the food is highly rated.
Casa Rural Pacio do Sil (Calle Xestal 33) is outside the main town — a bit pricey but well worth it. For food, Bar Taxi, Restaurante A Lareira, and Bar Pepa near the ayuntamiento are all recommended. On Sundays and on the 7th of each month, Amalia sets up her pulpo stall outside Bar Bravo.
From A Rúa to Quiroga there are not many services. Carry extra water and food. Fountains have been reported just past Alvaredos, at Montefurado, and two in Bendilló.
Leave A Rúa by climbing Calle Currelada to the church of Our Lady of Fátima (look for the slate-roofed twin towers). Head for the N-120 — arrows take you right and beneath the highway. Upon leaving the tunnel, make an immediate left.
There are now 7 km of asphalt walking on the OU-933 (becoming the LU-933 as you cross into Lugo province). There's virtually no traffic. On a clear day, the walk above the Río Sil is exceptionally beautiful.
