Penasillás is a hamlet of 18 people and at least as many dogs (none menacing). There's another peto de ánimas here, and — more importantly — a fountain of cold spring water. Fill up for the climb to Monte Faro.

Bar Cantina O Peto opens around 10 am officially, though pilgrims have found it open as early as 9. It has a sello. If it's closed, pilgrims have reported that knocking on the door of the house to the right brings the friendly owner.

The Road

The next 5 km steadily ascend toward Monte Faro on a logging road. Eventually you reach an asphalt road with a monolith — continue on this road.

I arrived in September at 10 in Penasillas and had a nice cafe.

This is a good place to stay after Diomondi — 10 miles. There are single and dorm rooms.

Bar closed at 9:30 am .. although the lady in the next house did come out and ask if we needed anything… nice under shelter area you can use any time

The Taberna was open today (12/04/23) around 11am. It was a very welcome stop for coffee before the steep climb.
