Sobradelo is built on a steep hill and is the first village with real services since entering Galicia. It has pharmacies, shops, a train station, bars, banks, a health center, and a swimming pool.
The Centro Social Pontenova has a bar open to the public with a nice eating area out back and a good menú del día. On the 10th of each month (market day), the centro serves a special pulpo meal.
Bar Mar is just down the road — the owner, Manuel Ángel Martínez Ramos (tel. 988 335 106), offers lodging for pilgrims at about 8 euros for 12 beds in 4 rooms. Reviews are mixed.
If you walk down to the river, a 16th-century seven-arched bridge crosses the Río Sil. The Restaurante Museo on the other side has excellent food and a fine view of the bridge.
Whichever branch of Calle de Éntoma you take through town, you'll ascend to the OU-0801 road heading to O Barco. After a few kilometers on the road shoulder, a camino marker takes you off the highway onto more scenic forest trails.
