Sobradelo is built on a steep hill and is the first village with real services since entering Galicia. It has pharmacies, shops, a train station, bars, banks, a health center, and a swimming pool.
The Centro Social Pontenova has a bar open to the public with a nice eating area out back and a good menú del día. On the 10th of each month (market day), the centro serves a special pulpo meal.
Bar Mar is just down the road — the owner, Manuel Ángel Martínez Ramos (tel. 988 335 106), offers lodging for pilgrims at about 8 euros for 12 beds in 4 rooms. Reviews are mixed.
If you walk down to the river, a 16th-century seven-arched bridge crosses the Río Sil. The Restaurante Museo on the other side has excellent food and a fine view of the bridge.
Whichever branch of Calle de Éntoma you take through town, you'll ascend to the OU-0801 road heading to O Barco. After a few kilometers on the road shoulder, a camino marker takes you off the highway onto more scenic forest trails.

Manuel is really a very special person.
The place offers the essencial and the fundamental to a pilgrim ... at a nice price.
Long Life to Manuel

There’s a nice looking Xunta investment as you enter Sobradelo. They’ve spent a bunch of money converting an old building into a municipal albergue and it appears ready. You can see furniture through the windows. Anyone know why it hasn’t opened yet?

Manuel was great- very welcoming. Had a great lunch at 2:30 - lovely soup, roasted potatoes, Padron peppers (yum!), spareribs and flan for dessert. A beer, a wine, lunch, a bed and laundry done for 34 euros.

Accommodation in Bar Mar is cool! Manuel, the owner, is such a nice man with a warm heart. We were alone there, he has the rooms with only normal beds and clean bathroom. 19€ per person including modest breakfast. Highly recommended!

The room was cool, it had real bed linen and was quiet. The shared was perfectly adequate, room price included a towel and having your washing done and dried was very much appreciated. We found Manuel to be friendly enough and it was nice to have an air conditioned bar to sit in and have drink in the afternoon heat. Little supermarket was open for some fresh fruit and snacks and the bar opposite kindly offered us a cheese baguette even though they weren't serving food at the time. I don't know what other 'shops' the above description refers to - we didn't see anything of note.

A great option to spend the night if you want to break up the stage between Las Médulas and O Barco.
Manuel the owner is a true gentleman and hospitalero, offering friendly service with a smile. For 19€ you get a single bed in shared room (4 beds, no bunks), laundry service and a coffee and light breakfast in the morning. Manuel also has a luggage transfer service if you want to send your bags.
I also recommend hungry pilgrims stop at Meson el Museo which has a yummy and generous menu del día for 13€ and has a super cool decor with lots of antiquities. The Venezuelan guys who run the restaurant are also very kind.

Good menu and breakfast. Drink on arrival. Room and bathroom was clean and freshly decorated. Grateful to arrive in Bar Mar after a long day.

We had a very unfortunate encounter with the owner of the Mal Bar he was extremely rude and appeared slightly unhinged, so much so that one of the locals from the bar across the road offered and we accepted a lift to the next town. The Camino provided it was very hot (26 degrees) and the young man was extremely kind and upset that his town treated us badly, my advice is try stay away if you can

I was able to book a bed at Bar Mar for €18 which included bed linen, a towel, laundry (wash and dry) and breakfast. Call Manuel at +34 988 335 106. He also served a pilgrim’s menu for €12.
