A Eirexe (Rodeiro)

A Penela is a small hamlet between Rodeiro and Lalín. Notable for an enormous granite monument a local farmer has dedicated to former King Juan Carlos. No services.

Notice

At the end of town where the camino meets the road, there's an official arrow pointing left — it's wrong. Locals sometimes smear it with dirt as a warning, and the man who lives nearby has been known to shout the correct way. Follow the road downhill instead.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

Where the Camino joins the road, and the signs direct you to turn right and then loop around to your left, it is perfectly safe to turn left along the road itself and walk the 0.8 of a mile to where the Camino rejoins it at A Eirexe. This saves half a mile of walking. The road is very quiet and there is a good margin.
