Castroncelos

Barxa do Lor (also marked as A Ponte on some maps) is a small village at the bridge over the Río Lor. A sign in A Ponte illustrates the route onward to Monforte. No services.

The Road

Multiple paths converge in this area, and although most will eventually lead you to Castroncelos, only one is well marked. Shortly after crossing the bridge, a trail splits off to the right — don't take it. Head upward on the wider road instead. It takes several turns, and you'll feel like you're going the wrong direction as it zigzags, but it straightens out eventually, with the N-120 visible below to your left.

Ignore all signs for the GR-8.

What a great place to stay. Room, food location, kindness, dog! All wonderful.

The recommendation about this place saved me! I planned to walk from o barco to Quiroga and then to Monforte. But after walking the 40k to Quiroga today there’s no way my feet would last another 40k tomorrow. I also booked on the chat function and they responded immediately

I stayed at the Pension Pacita which was very welcoming. I booked through the chat option on Google maps. They also provided an excellent evening meal including the best steak I’ve had for a very long time.

After the bridge at the tip of the hill next to the church is a new potable water point - very welcome
