A Pobra do Brollón is the only town with real services between Quiroga and Monforte de Lemos. If you don't want to walk the full 35 km from Quiroga to Monforte, this is the logical stopping point at roughly the midway mark.
Hostal As Vilas has closed, but there are alternatives. The polideportivo may be available for pilgrims. In Salcedo, about 3.5 km off the camino, several casas rurales and a hotel operate under one management (tel. 982 430 501 / 619 813 834). The owner is happy to pick up and drop off pilgrims at no charge. You can reach Salcedo via a marked trail from Barxa do Lor or a turn-off near Castroncelos.
The town has built a small swimming area by damming the river — it's the local gathering spot in summer, and even if you don't swim, it's worth a look.
Café Bar Restaurante Avenida, right on the camino, is recommended.
The mojón taking you out of town is next to the large Guardia Civil building with its "Todo por la Patria" motto. You're soon on a green track that emerges onto a road paralleling the river — turn right and walk along it.
You'll enter Cereixa, cross a bridge, and pass through the hamlet to a crucifix and church. The camino then turns right toward Rairos. There's one more short ascent before Monforte, through a pine forest. The descent is on a wide dirt road.
When you cross a channel, the road improves. You'll descend into Reigada, the last hamlet before Monforte. The final stretch into town on a dirt path can be badly waterlogged even in dry weather. If mud makes it impassable, backtrack to the road and turn left — this older route passes the train station and takes you into town.
You'll arrive on the Rúa Escultor Francisco Moure in central Monforte, where bars and restaurants line the street. The camino leaves Monforte via the Puente Romano.

It’s easier to turn left at the entrance to Castrondelosa and follow the road to the Municipal Albergue. Otherwise you descend to town and have to ascend back out to the Albergue.

Nice bar opposite the lovely park does an extensive and good value tapas menu. The only other option to eat was a restaurant in the Main Street open at 8
Sandra at the albergue had some packaged meals you could purchase and supermarket Ana ( which is very small) had bread cheese tuna and a few veggies

We stayed at the Albergue, great and very modern, good bathrooms, bunks with pillows blankets and towel, a kitchenette with microwave, toaster, kettle etc - you can buy bottles of wine from them as well as meals you can heat in microwave, there is also a vending machine. Tv with Netflix was a nice touch to relax after a day of walking, 14 euros per person, and offer breakfast on request for 3 euros (inc coffee, yoghurt, fruit and toast with jam). Well run and very comfortable. Seemed like laundry was also available if needed as an extra. Great Albergue. https://www.albergueapobradobrollon.com/

This is a great Albergue, only open a few months.
Everything you need. Kitchen very well appointed.
Cost was €16.50 for a stay on 30 August.
Hospitalero was extremely helpful and kind. One of the Pilgrims in our group required a taxi for the next day which she very kindly arranged.
There is a small Supermercado about 700m from the Albergue

This is a GREAT place to stay and the owner will happily come to the Camino and pick you up but ONLY if you book directly through the hotel website. If you go through booking.com there is a charge because of the 15% commission that booking takes. The hotel restaurant is very reasonable too.
