Scenic view of Quereño on the Camino Francés

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.

Quereño is the first village in Galicia. It's a curious place with an abundance of arrows in various colors pointing in different directions — some left over from construction work. Don't overthink it; the camino route becomes clear once you're through town.

No notable services.

The Camino:

As you complete the U-shaped loop near the railway tracks, make a relatively sharp right turn to go uphill and cross the tracks. The camino weaves a bit, crossing over the tracks (putting you between the tracks and the river) and then crossing back about a kilometer later.

From here, the camino keeps to the right bank of the Río Sil, paralleling the railway. This is the stretch the Invierno is known for — a riverine microclimate with sunny exposures that avoids freezing temperatures. Look for two picnic tables with river views. Ignore any old arrows on the other side of the tracks.

Water fountains are on the route no bar

The map shows the water fountains off the route but both are on the Camino itself. Both have excellent cold water, potable and with no chlorination. There is nothing in this town and only one bar across the river. So go there. The whole don’t visit the first bar you come to is BS here.
