A town on a hilltop with basic services. In the square near the church, one of the original granite camino markers — similar to those common in Galicia — stands with its inlay missing, unable to tell you how far Santiago is.

The Santuario de La Salette, a replica of the French shrine, draws pilgrims in its own right. The Parque da La Salette surrounding it provides welcome greenery. The shrine's feast day on the first Sunday in August can fill every bed in town — book ahead if you're passing through.

Fiesta

Local holiday on the Monday that follows the second Sunday of August.The feast day of La Salette is on the first Sunday in August and there is a celebration at the nearby shrine. As such, beds can be difficult to find.

The Road

The road between here and the Roman Ponte do Salgueiro is nothing short of boring. It is continuous development of both industry and housing.

Owner is friendly. But rooms and bathroom are very dirty.
