Nothing here

I walked to here thinking I would find an albergue or food. Be ware - there is hardly anything for the 8-10km beyond Pontevedra. Casa Misericordia is not an option to rely on - closed when I came through

Casa Misericordia

The church complex houses Casa Misericordia, a beautiful spot run by parish hermit Brother Carlos, who has pilgrim’s blessings, as well as coffee and tea and bathrooms and a possibility of shelter available for pilgrims if you ring the doorbell.
