Posada Lunada.

The place is a good stopping point. Javier will take you to dinner, but you can get a meal or tapas in Arce before climbing up to the place. Breakfast is very good.

Lovely pension on the alternate route

If you're taking the alternate route, there's a lovely pension, Posada Lunada, about 1km after the bridge in Oruña. The room comes with breakfast but there's no bars or restaurants around so you'll have to make plans for dinner. But the owner was really lovely and offered to drive me to a restaurant nearby that serves a pilgrim's meal which only cost €10!
