Ferreiros ('blacksmiths') has a bar and an albergue. The Iglesia de Santa María has a simple Romanesque form. The village is one of the better-serviced hamlets between Sarria and Portomarín.
Beyond Ferreiros you will encounter the 100km marker. It is the single most vandalized object on the camino, changing from day to day as pilgrims leave their mark. From here on to Santiago the terrain has smoothed out, but do not be deceived. Although the height of the peaks has been reduced, the frequency with which you have to climb the smaller ones has increased.

There is a kind woman who has a stop point (maybe there is a group of people im unsure) in a building just past Hospitalidad al peregrino. She offered us tons of food and cafe and only for a donation. Much appreciated!
