Quereño is the first village in Galicia. It's a curious place with an abundance of arrows in various colors pointing in different directions — some left over from construction work. Don't overthink it; the camino route becomes clear once you're through town.
No notable services.
As you complete the U-shaped loop near the railway tracks, make a relatively sharp right turn to go uphill and cross the tracks. The camino weaves a bit, crossing over the tracks (putting you between the tracks and the river) and then crossing back about a kilometer later.
From here, the camino keeps to the right bank of the Río Sil, paralleling the railway. This is the stretch the Invierno is known for — a riverine microclimate with sunny exposures that avoids freezing temperatures. Look for two picnic tables with river views. Ignore any old arrows on the other side of the tracks.
