Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino del Norte app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

The church and adjacent cemetery, with neo-Gothic spires, are the only notable features. The camino crosses the N-634 twice here — there are no dedicated pedestrian crossings and a large junction demands alertness.
The camino through San Xoan is a bit sloppy, there are no dedicated pedestrian crossings and a large junction means you have to keep alert. Although the camino reaches town from the west side of the road, and later leaves it from the west side, the arrows have you cross over the N-634 to ease the way around a junction; this route also takes you past the church and cemetery. This dancing around the N-634 is almost to an end but there are a few more crossings before Baamonde. The camino follows a few more back roads to Pedrouzos.

When you leave the bar the short road to the left joins the Camino without having to go back to the highway.

Looks like you need two stamps a day from here on to get the official Del Norte very;)

At the junction with the main highway, there is a nice bar down the road to your right. Also before you get to the junction there is a vending machine well stocked along with a coffee dispensing machine.
