Lobios is the first proper service town on the Spanish side. It has two small supermarkets — a Spar and an Aliprox — making it the place to resupply. After the modern part of town, there's a more picturesque older section with stone houses and groupings of hórreos (the raised stone granaries typical of Galicia and northern Portugal).
The town has a couple of cafés and bars. It's not a destination in itself, but after the wilderness of Gerês and the mountain crossing, a supermarket feels like civilization.
The Road
After crossing the Limia river soon after Lobios, look behind the petrol station for a hard-to-find trail. There's a camino sign, but it's hidden from view until you locate the path. Take your time finding it — it's there.
