Wise Pilgrim APPO Cadavo remains a largely agricultural town where the industry is cows -- both dairy and beef -- and you're bound to see more than one tanker truck on its rounds. The town sits at a slightly lower altitude than the surrounding terrain, which makes a substantial difference in snowfall during winter months. The views from the approach are wide and open, a taste of the rolling Galician landscape that replaces the sharp mountain terrain you've been crossing.
The town itself is unremarkable but functional, with enough services to resupply and enough bars to celebrate surviving the rompe piernas.
The camino between here and Castroverde manages to avoid the steep LU-530 entirely. From O Cádavo it continues uphill along a farm lane to the town of Pradeda where you can look back for a nice view of O Cádavo. Beyond Pradeda the climb continues up to the Alto de Vacariza.
