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

Éntoma is a pretty hamlet with a striking metal sculpture made from agricultural hoes bidding pilgrims a Buen Camino. There's a beautiful old bridge, perfect for a rest stop. Bar Martillo has a terrace (reportedly opens at noon, closed Mondays).
The parish records of Éntoma contain a poignant entry: on May 21, 1806, a woman of humble origin from Santa Marina del Rey in León province gave birth here. She was baptized in the local church and described as a pilgrim on her way home from Santiago.
Leaving the hamlet, the camino takes you up through a forest of pine, chestnut, and cherry trees, with some vineyards. You'll arrive on O Barco's outskirts and back on the OU-0801. It's at least half an hour into the center, with development stretched along the highway.
Watch for two blue Camino signs and a mojón indicating a narrow tunnel to your left, under the train tracks. After the tunnel, enter the slate mill and turn right on a gravel track. O Barco is near — up a sharp climb and over another train tunnel.
