Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino Francés app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.
Get the appChantada's arcaded streets are lined with elegant portals and mansions from the 15th and 16th centuries. It has all basic services and is the natural stopping point between Monforte and Lalín.
When you cross the bridge into town, Piolindo is the first bar on the right — good food, and the manager Rachel is extremely helpful with directions and accommodation. Bar do Río is next, on the left, with a nice terrace overlooking the river. Pulpería Os Pendellos (Rúa de Benigno Ledo 13) is fantastic for pulpo, but expect crowds. Bar as Amizades on Juan XXIII has a 9-euro menú. Pizzería Agocho, near the Hotel Mogay and Hostal Yoel, is also recommended. Café Amedeo and Panadería Ascención (near Hotel Mogay) are good for breakfast.
Hotel Gamallo (García Arias 7, tel. 982 440 833) is one option. There's a laundromat in the same building as Pensión Yoel — 3 euros with card, 3.50 euros cash.
The modern church in the center is pilgrim-friendly and offers a sello. The Casa de Cultura next door also has a sello and free wifi.
Leave Chantada from Praza Santa Ana along Alférez Baanante, heading toward Centulle. You're on the in-town portion of the LU-1809. Just past the first peto de ánimas (a medieval crossroads shrine with carved images of souls in purgatory — the slot was for monetary offerings on their behalf), a mojón takes you off the road.
Continue through Centulle. You'll return to the LU-1809, then follow arrows right. About a hundred meters down, go left onto the service road of the main Chantada-Lalín highway. Stay on the service road for a few kilometers. After passing under a road bridge, turn left. Go through Boán, then straight through Lucenza. Before the end of Lucenza, take the path right. At the stop sign, cross the road and follow the mojón left. Cross the next road and continue straight to Penasillás.

Makes it closer to going over The Alto de Faro in the morning and the Hotel is in the countryside with beautiful views . A private suite isn’t much dearer for two as the Pilgrm room which is great also . The best food you can eat , kind and friendly Owner that has walked a Camino himself. A beautiful very clean Hotel with a pool even .

Hostal Dpaso has to be one of the best for sure. Excellent set with 28 Bunks but in cubicles of either 2 or 4. The bunks have privacy curtins, proper bed linen and a towel. Everythig is exception ally clean and comfortable. Current costs €20 per bed & €3 for laundry & drier. Good kitchen and cooking facilities. The Hospitalera is very helpful.
