A hamlet with a small church and no reliable services. The path continues through eucalyptus and mixed forest.
The bar here opens at 7:30.
The Iglesia de San Xulián preserves some Romanesque stonework.
Near San Xulain the camino is undergoing a rerouting to accommodate the new highway connecting Santiago with Lugo. Most recently this meant walking across the unfinished highway. Changes are frequent and it is best to follow the detour signage.

If you can’t get into Albergue O Abrigadoiro, the above place is a small Albergue, private rooms, just a a little way along the trail in San Xulián. Not on Wise Pilgrim but lovely little place

What a wonderful find on the camino. Beautiful dorms, wonderful owners, delicious food and some of the most interesting desserts found on the camino so far. Save space to eat in the restaurant. You won’t regret it.

Great vibe and the best coffee on the Camino!

A massive plate of scrambled eggs (real, proper scrambled eggs with good looking bread), HOMEMADE cakes and blueberry muffins- this is the place to be. After walking the entire Frances, this is the only proper breakfast I’ve found so far.

I eat a slice of tortilla at least once a day sometimes more, and this was the best tortilla on the entire Camino. Superb coffee too.
10. July 2024 - 18:33
Essential coffee is amazing. The owner will make you anything you want and is one of the kindest most generous people I have met on the Camino. He makes his own sour dough bread too.

Albergue O abrigadoiro is a great place to eat and sleep. The owner, Pilar, and her colleague are so friendly and helpful. Machine wash for just €4. Perfect place to start early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

The coffee shop was open early today.

Make sure you get a yogurt with honey. Best thing I have had in my life. Homemade yogurt. Delicious honey. Mix it up / ribbon it through. So good. Hands down best yogurt I have come across.

Lovely family owned Albergue with a bar across the road that has great food. I arrived after a long day of rain and was provided with newspaper for my shoes, a spot beside the fire and bed with real sheets and duvet. A lovely village. Highly recommend
