Piñeiro has a fountain with sweet, cold water — the best rest and refill spot between Monforte and Chantada. There's space for a picnic. No other services.

If you plan to stay at the highly recommended La Rectoral de Castillón casa rural, phone Rosa (the proprietor) from here to arrange a pickup. The inn is nearby but walking directions are unclear. She'll return you to the fountain the next morning.

The Camino:

From the fountain onward to O Camiño Grande, the mojones take you on a lovely walk through fields and green tunnels, with stone walls on either side.
