A Rúa de Valdeorras has all services — restaurants, markets, wineries, accommodation, and a tourist office with sello, often staffed by local Camino Amigos group members. Stock up here for the next day's walk.

The municipal polideportivo in the riverside Agullón park is currently available for pilgrims. It's 1 km from the town hall — on weekdays, go directly between 3 and 10 pm; on weekends, call the local police at 696 91 75 94. Bar O Refuxio next door is recommended for its BBQ.

Hotel and restaurant O Pillabán (Praza Enriqueta Casanova 11, tel. 988 311 416 / WhatsApp 627 89 10 04) is right on the camino near the church. Rooms for pilgrims are 20 euros, and the food is highly rated.

Casa Rural Pacio do Sil (Calle Xestal 33) is outside the main town — a bit pricey but well worth it. For food, Bar Taxi, Restaurante A Lareira, and Bar Pepa near the ayuntamiento are all recommended. On Sundays and on the 7th of each month, Amalia sets up her pulpo stall outside Bar Bravo.

Notice

From A Rúa to Quiroga there are not many services. Carry extra water and food. Fountains have been reported just past Alvaredos, at Montefurado, and two in Bendilló.

The Road

Leave A Rúa by climbing Calle Currelada to the church of Our Lady of Fátima (look for the slate-roofed twin towers). Head for the N-120 — arrows take you right and beneath the highway. Upon leaving the tunnel, make an immediate left.

There are now 7 km of asphalt walking on the OU-933 (becoming the LU-933 as you cross into Lugo province). There's virtually no traffic. On a clear day, the walk above the Río Sil is exceptionally beautiful.

Small, really clean Albergue. Just 3 bunk beds and one normal bed in one room. The hospitalero Pepe was so so…. Dinner and breakfast were small. Spaghetti with pesto. Thanks for nothing. It isn’t worth more than 10€.

We found the donativo albergue on Gronze. It is a wonderful place. The volunteer María went out of her way to make us feel looked after. She made a lovely supper Despite our protests she even got up at 530 to make breakfast

We stayed in the Municipal Alburgue (shown as 'Alburgue de Peregrinos' in Google Maps) in July 2025, and opening hours were from 14:30 to 22:30.
It's as good as everyone else says it is.

Although small, it is a great albergue run on a donation basis. The hospitalero, Carmen, made us feel very welcome, cooked a great dinner and had us all laughing
It is a pity it is not on Wise Pilgrim., you have to find it by other apps. It doesn’t open until 4, but you can leave your pack there while you explore A Rua

The Municipal is not listed but you can find it on google. is a classic albergue with dinner and breakfast, everything on donation. The host Maria was the sweetest and helpful person. One of my momenta on this camino!!

We had a wonderfull stay at the municipal albergue. There was a change over in volunteers, and we had a great laugh with the 5 of us. Loren and Antonio made dinner and breakfast, and it was delicious. Thanks for the stay.

I don’t know why wise pilgrim doesn’t list it but the municipal albergue is incredible. It’s donativo, with optional dinner and breakfast. What more could you ask for! It’s clean, good showers, great hospitalero. She even kindly came and opened early because she saw I was waiting outside (it normally opens 4pm, I would have been happy lying there!) a real gem.

It’s 12 noon on a Sunday and I am happy to report Amalia is still there with her pulpo stand. You buy pulpo from her, and bread/potatoes inside the bar :) her pulpo is 9€ for a ration, and bread 2€ in the bar (they didn’t have potatoes ready at this time)
