Another hamlet with missing arrows — a recurring theme on this stretch. The camino leaves via a fork at the far end of town. A dirt track parallels the road and is the preferred option; if you end up on the road instead, follow old arrows to Gramatinha.

Notice:

Following the road for 100m to the first bend reveals several dirt tracks to the right and a broken camino sign. It is of the post-and-tile kind, and the tile has been removed. The desired track is the rightmost one.You can alternatively take the road, which is marked with the old camino arrows to Gramatinha, and then to Casais Maduros.The dirt track that you turned right on will take you to the road and to Casal do Soeiro. Several more arrows along the way are missing, but the way is clear when you remember that you should NOT walk on the road. Several pleasant tracks bypass the road all the way into town. On particularly wet or rainy days, there is no harm in sticking to the road so long as you mind the minor traffic.

The Camino:

Pass straight through Venda do Negro, turning left at the fork in the road at the far end of town.

Now well signposted

New signs now point the way clearly. You can still see the only one missing the arrow, but I found it well signed.

Be careful walking through

Be careful walking through town. I was bitten by one of the dogs roaming freely.
