Two bars, one on either side of a dangerous crossing. The camino passes UNDER the N-547 — do not cross over the road. A steep climb follows, then a comfortable trail through eucalyptus forest alongside the Santiago airport runway.
The camino crosses the very busy N-547 by passing underneath it. Do not cross over the road.
Leaving the bar behind you climb steeply uphill a short distance. The path soon levels out on a comfortable trail surrounded by eucalyptus trees. The Santiago Airport is very near, and the camino follows a path around the runway.

Do not recommend this place - it is little more than a motorway inn without a restaurant, you have to order food from the family pizza restaurant- after eating a bit of salad. - contracted food poisoning-

It was hands down the best food we experienced in Galicia, and the dinner service was outstanding. Keep it up!

Carry on to Meson Cima Das Quintas - 100m off the Camino on the highway. They have a set menu which is extensive (11€ for two courses, 12€ for three, 13€ plus coffee). Predominantly local fish dishes (one chicken and veal option), mains coming with potatoes and salad and cooked to absolute perfection. Few walkers in here, mostly local workers. Gets you away from the standard fare directly on the Camino and more usual Spanish prices. Highly recommend!
