Palas está dividida por un par de grandes carreteras que se tuercen y giran a través de la ciudad. Después de bajar la escalera, y con el albergue municipal a su izquierda, el camino a la derecha conduce a un supermercado y de vuelta a Portomarin. Directamente a bares y restaurantes y albergues y a la carretera fuera de la ciudad.

History

El origen del nombre Palas de Rei, "Palacio del Rey", se debe al último rey visigodo que gobernó España. Witiza tuvo un breve reinado, de 700-709, y solo tenía 14 años cuando fue ungido. La familia gobernó toda la península ibérica desde Toledo y no fue hasta el año 701 que Witiza llegó a Galicia, probablemente a Tui; su migración fue provocada tanto por una invasión bizantina como por la propagación de la plaga desde Constantinopla. Su reinado duró poco, pero su pueblo homónimo aquí en el camino permanece. Para que conste, de hecho, era un cogobernante junto a su padre, pero "Palacio del Medio Rey" carecía de cierto talento.

The Road

Ahora ha entrado en territorio de eucalipto, y aunque hay parches de viejos bosques de robles que se pueden encontrar, esta especie no indígena se ha apoderado del paisaje y se ha convertido en un símbolo de Galicia.

Clean, comfortable room with good air conditioning. Breakfast was exceptional.
Restaurant Pasta was the best meal we had on the Camino. Fabulous experience. Early dinner hours, so it was nice not to wait until after 7 pm to eat. We were lucky, as there was no queue for a table.

Definitely agree with the previous comments about Pasta. Wonderful al dente paste with nice specials (vegan options) in a small quaint atmosphere. Definitely recommend and would go back if not walking tomorrow. 😃

Beautiful little place. Bed a bit too soft for our liking but the room was spacious, bathroom clean and well equipped. The hostess was very kind. Free coffee. Nice little garden to relax in. Within 5 minute walk from the church and cafes and mercados.

Lovely hotel- very friendly and helpful staff! The rooms were well decorated with modern touches and original stone and wood beams. Best part? The shower with jets and rain shower head! Very close to laundry, bars and shops! They also had vending with ice packs! A free coffee service machine. And little details like a small pack of leg and foot cream with the towels! Very thoughtful of the weary!
