A Estrada

A Estrada is a sizeable Galician town on one of the main roads heading out of Santiago. It has all services — banks, pharmacies, shops, and restaurants. There's a Froiz supermarket on the main road, a few minutes off the camino, for a proper resupply.

The town is functional rather than picturesque, but after days of remote walking through the Galician interior, having access to a full range of services is welcome. A Estrada is also a reasonable point to call it a day if you're running out of daylight — Santiago is still a long walk away.
