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.

Rodeiro is a small town with basic services. Cross the river and you'll emerge in the square with the Casa do Concello (town hall — sello available, but only open till 2 pm). The camino leaves to the right of the town hall, not up the hill through the center. Look for the first arrows near the monument to the wheel in the roundabout.
The Romanesque church dates to the 12th century. Bar Desito is recommended for its tortilla española.
There are no services on the camino between here and Lalín. Carry plenty of water and food. Some pilgrims stay on the highway, which has a few bars and is a few kilometers shorter — it's not pretty but safe, as you'll always be on an access road. The camino, however, follows beautiful back roads through the Galician heartland with several hamlets but no services except the occasional fountain.
Leave Rodeiro on the PO-5330 heading west for about 2 km. A mojón stands across from the COGAL rabbit-processing factory, directing you right onto a paved road toward Puente Limpio. It soon becomes a dirt path and meanders over a wide valley with stone quarries, trout-fishing streams, and sunken lanes that sometimes turn to mud.
Mojones direct you from Penerbosa to Puza to A Penela — notable for an enormous granite monument a local farmer dedicated to former King Juan Carlos. From A Penela, continue to A Eirexe, where the camino crosses a 12th-century bridge beneath a large strip mine.
A long stretch on a dirt road follows, through agricultural fields and forest. At approximately 19 km from Rodeiro, the camino enters Palmaz and takes you onto the PO-933 into Lalín de Arriba. The arrows lead past a church dating from the 10th century (the date 980 is carved into a stone window sill). The keeper of the keys lives nearby and is happy to open it if you can find her. From there, arrows continue into Lalín.

Despite the Albergue being redecorated in stayed in a room. Room was clean with clean shower area. My only snag it was very cold, heating is currently not working. Staff nice and helpful.

The albergue carpinterias is clean and ok. Bar is downstairs. During the big blackout there was no help or nice things from them. Without cash you had no food or anything possible. Sorry but its a holy way and the blackout was more than 20 hours…

Note that the rest stop is actually in A Eirexe (not Laxas as noted above). It is a lovely cosy little room with a vending machine - even some change supllied in case you run short. Just stand in front of the fountain and it will be through the doorway behind you.

The app shows no coffee, but when you walk into Laxas , about half way to Lalin , opposite the church / grave yard , if you look to the right and back a little, you will see a lovely stone room with table and chairs, coffee / hot chocolate vending machine that even has cakes . You can also get a stamp . Such a lovely surprise and we would have missed seeing it , except we are walking the opposite way . ❤️

Clean albergue and no complaints other than the heat. 7degree night and they complained about turning the heat on for me because I was the only pilgrim…. Despite the sign saying heat is on from 7p to 7a. They hadn’t turned it on until I messaged them at 8.
