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

Where the camino reaches O Pedrouzo, a barrage of arrows and hostel advertisements point in every direction. If you have a reservation, use the map board. Otherwise turn left up the road. If not staying, cross and continue along the camino.
Where the camino returns to the road at the start of O Pedrouzo you will find an abundance of arrows and a large map which is nearly worthless. Arrows and dozens of signs advertising various hostels and hotels point in every direction. If you have a reservation, review the map to find the best path, otherwise turn left up the road. If you are not staying the night in O Pedrouzo, cross the road here and continue along the camino.

Very nice hotel and grounds - we had our late afternoon wine in the garden/yard… and the restaurant was really good. Very nice menu of the day for 15€ - and I had tasty vegetarian fare.

Lovely outdoor area but not exactly for pilgrims - they were quite rude to us so we decided to move on.

Had a great pizza there. Wish we had stayed here looked like a great glamping experience with a pool.

As an update, this albergue remains high quality. 15€, linen sheets, spotlessly clean. Space in dorms, lockers, two kitchen, 2 laundry’s, very welcoming host. Nice relaxing find on the home stretch.

Host at my albergue helpfully showed us that O Pedrouza is actually out of the way— make sure to follow the arrows not road signs- unless for some reason you are needing to pass through O Pedrouza— he said it will add 5-6km to route

There is a corporate-y feelimg restaurant on the way out of town. Good for breakfast.

When you enter the village on your left you see Albergue Xacobeo, and it is by far the most pleasant stay I’ve had on the Camino. Very clean and new, extremely helpful staff and furthermore very calm surroundings. They offer kitchen, washing machine and provides fresh linen for everyone. Cant say this enough, best 12 euro I’ve spent yet!
