Most services are along the road at the start of town, opposite the church. The name — Avelas do Caminho — tells you this village has been on the pilgrim road for a long time. A marker near the chapel of Henrique Marques Moura claims 303 km to Santiago; the actual distance is somewhat different.
Leave town on the opposite side of the N1, turning left at the chapel with the bust of Henrique Maroues Moura. A maker here proclaims rather incorrectly that it is 303km to Santiago.Between here and Aguada de Baixo is a string of hamlets (no service) and a chapel in São João da Azenha.

Door is open between six and seven pm. Spacious dorm in a community center. They had a choir practice the night I stayed over, quite entertaining. They offer sheets, pillows and blankets at extra charge (€2 each), there is a microwave and a water-cooker in the dorm.. a small shop a bit back down the road, as well as a good restaurant. I went to the take out grill close by and stopped at an excellent bakery.
