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

Services

A municipality in the centre of Ourense province with a Xunta albergue, bars, and basic services. After the mountain walking from Laza, the terrain here starts to flatten out and the Galician lowlands begin to assert themselves.

The village has a pharmacy and a small shop. It's a serviceable stop but not a place that demands lingering.

The Camino:

Paved walking along the road through the hamlets of Boveda (2.2 km), Vilar do Gomareite (bar) (0.9 km), Bobadela a Pinta (5.3 km), Padroso (bar) (1.1 km), Cima de Vila (1.7 km), and Quintela (1.4 km). As you enter Xunqueira de Ambia on a back road the albergue is one of the first buildings on your right.

Bar in the Town Center

I ordered pan tostada (no coffee) and got four slices of toasted sandwich bread for 3.5 euro. Service was none too cordial. Avoid this trap.
