Codeseda

Codeseda is in some ways the heart of the Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieiros, and staying overnight is highly recommended. The village is small, but the welcome is big.

Two Casas Rurales, Casa O Avó and Casa O Palomar, are run by English-speaking Francisco (Frank) and are excellent value. Frank is heavily involved with the Geira project and is a friendly, knowledgeable host who genuinely cares about the route and its pilgrims. Call him in advance on +34 654 728 266 to arrange your stay.

Virtually next door to Casa O Palomar, the Pub Café Caminho da Geira is the liveliest spot in town and does good meals. Spanish-speaking Mari Carmen goes out of her way to serve pilgrims, including accommodating specific dietary needs.

There's also a grocery store in Codeseda for resupplying.
