Arzúa er en hyggelig by med næsten senge nok til pilgrimme. Hvis du synes, at alt er fyldt, og ikke har lyst til at spendere på et af de mange hoteller i området, bliver Polideportivo (sportshal) ofte brugt til at huse pilgrimme. Mellem her og O Pedrouzo ligger en række meget små galiciske landsbyer af ringe betydning. De lokale i disse områder fortæller dig gerne, uden den mindste tone af ironi eller sarkasme, at "no hay vacas in Galicia" (der er ingen køer i Galicien). Hav den tanke i hovedet, mens du slæber dig gennem en gennemblødt sti på en ellers solrig dag.

Fiesta

Arzúa er berømt for sin ost og afholder en årlig (og tre dage lang) ostefestival i marts. Det har de gjort i 40 år. Bortset fra denne og flere andre verdslige fester fejrer Arzúa Corpus Christi samt Nuestra Señora del Carmen, som fejres den 16. juli.

History

Tetilla-ost: Du har måske set denne besynderligt formede ost i butiksvinduerne. Hvis du har set en forbindelse mellem navnet og formen, tager du ikke fejl. Den blev formet på denne måde af osteproducenterne i protest mod biskoppen i Santiago. På det tidspunkt var Portico de la Gloria (Mester Mateos berømte skulpturer ved katedralens hovedindgang) ved at blive færdiggjort, og biskoppen var utilfreds med det mærkelige smil på profeten Daniels ansigt. Den kloge biskop fulgte hans blik hen over døråbningen og opdagede, at Dronning Esthers barm var blevet forstørret af en fræk skulptør. Daniel beholdt sit smil, Esther fik en reduktion, og vi fik bryst-formet-protest-ost.

The Road

Caminoen forlader Arzúa ad en gangsti, IKKE ad vejen. Hvis du ankommer til hovedtorvet, skal du gå forbi kirken (med ryggen til vejen) og dreje til højre ind på sidegaden. Terrænet er behageligt, en blanding af stier og asfalterede veje gennem små byer og masser af skove. Der er et par stejle sektioner, men ingen af nævneværdig længde.

Pension Casa Elena was a perfect stop in Arzua! The room was 150 sq. Feet and seemed very spacious with how it was laid out. The bathroom had plenty of space and the shower felt so good! The best part was the airflow and air conditioning they had in this room. So nice. Highly recommend!

Very good breakfast. Fluffy scrambled eggs. Avocado, cheese and tomato toast. Good coffee con leche. Very nice and friendly young couple runs the place. Full breakfast and coffee for 3 people was 20€. Slightly Off the Way on a side alley

Start serving breakfast at 6:30. Many choices not just what we pilgrims have been eating for 30 plus days.

Very friendly service.

Also great Callie’s cookie and coffee.

I had a burger and then came back the next day for breakfast.
