Puente de Domingo Flórez
Camino de Invierno
Puente de Domingo Flórez is the last town in El Bierzo before crossing into Galicia. It has a pharmacy, supermarkets, bars, an ATM, a medical center, and one hostal.
The camino route through town involves an unnecessary loop via two bridges. You can avoid it by taking a straight shot across town: descending on Calle Real, turn right on Calle el Toral to reach Café Bar Los Arcos before the square. Continue straight past Bar el Cruce (very pilgrim-friendly) to rejoin the camino on Avenida de Orense.
At the intersection with Calle Chao de Marco, turn left. When it curves right, turn left at the Día supermarket (a mojón will direct you) onto Calle Acceso Quereño. You'll cross the bridge into Galicia. About 50 m after the railway bridge, Bar Estanco is opposite the Quereño station.
After crossing the bridge, the camino makes a large U-shaped loop. Pass the electricity pylons on your left, go under the railway bridge, and take the middle of the three roads ahead, looping past houses into Quereño.
