Pumares is a tiny hamlet with well-cared-for houses and what seems like dozens of cats. There's a natural spring fountain with cold, tasty water. No services.

Between Pumares and Sobradelo, you'll pass through Nogueiras, an abandoned village now mostly in ruins. Some welcoming signs and a statue of Mary have been placed there.

The Camino:

On the way from Pumares to Sobradelo, you'll walk for a long time on a high path with shale cliffs and wildflowers on one side and a long drop to treetops, railway tracks, and the Río Sil on the other. The path is wide and shouldn't cause anxiety except for those with extreme issues with heights.

Arrows may disappear coming into Sobradelo. Enter town on Camino Regueiros de Aguas.
