A Vide is a small hamlet on the road out of Monforte. No services. The asphalt stretch from Monforte ends here as the camino begins moving into the rural heartland of the Ribeira Sacra.
The camino is well marked leaving A Vide, and off-road alternatives have been closed. Stay on the asphalt road through Broza, about 2.5 km, passing the old Pazo O Reguengo estate as a landmark.
After the estate walls end, a mojón indicates a left turn onto a paved road. This goes through the small hamlet of San Lourenzo. When the road ends, the camino goes briefly into the fields before emerging in Castrotañe, where an English woman named Penelope runs a casa rural with rooms for pilgrims at reasonable prices (tel. 677 120 321 / 982 171 632, galiciaholidayrentals.com). One pilgrim paid 20 euros for a room with kitchen access; Penelope has also been known to drive guests into town for shopping.
The path continues to Piñeiro and its fountain. If the path from San Lourenzo is overgrown or muddy, stay on the LU-P-4112 — in a few minutes you'll reach Piñeiro and rejoin the camino at the fountain.
