Camino Francés App

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

O Camiño Grande is a crossroads hamlet in the concello of O Saviñao. The main draw is the Casa Rural Torre Vilariño, 400 m off the camino to the left at the crossroads — very highly recommended, with pilgrim-friendly staff. Rooms are 20 euros per person; swimming pool; menú del día 15 euros, pilgrim menú 10 euros. The restaurant is closed Wednesdays except in summer. Tel. 982 452 260, or WhatsApp Susana at 640 104 627.

From Torre Vilariño, there's a 6 km circular walk with views of the bends in the Río Miño, passing the Adegas Moure winery and the Igrexa Monacal de San Martiño da Coba perched high above the river. The mirador at Cabodomundo has grown over, but the views near the winery are spectacular.

The Camino:

At the crossroads in O Camiño Grande, the camino enters the concello of O Saviñao. At a junction with numerous signs, continue straight on the LU-P-5807 toward Fión (you'll see the km 0 road marker). A turn to the right goes to Escairón — don't take it unless you're doing the Escairón alternative described below.

The camino stays on the road (virtually no traffic) and passes through a string of small hamlets — Fontela, Vilaravides, Vilatinosa, A Madredauga, Sobrado, O Cerdeiro, A Vendanova, Outeiro, Montecelo — before arriving at Diomondi. You'll enter the parroquia of Diomondi about 2 km before reaching the church.

The prices are not up to date. It’s still excellent value, though.
