Services

The name suggests a former market village. A bar may be open. The walking continues through gentle countryside.

History:

A curious place for a medieval market, but that is exactly what this crossing of roads is known and named for.

The Camino:

The camino passes through the hamlets of Leimán, Peruscallo, Cortiñas, Lavandeira, Casal, and Brea. None have any services. The way is more gently rolling hills.

Between here and Morgade you may find, behind a fence on your right-hand side, a rather curious and grumpy ostrich. Ostrich meat is a growing industry in Spain, but this particular fella is the family pet.
