Practical tips
Bars in many villages. The final descent into Portomarín is rocky and stepped; walkers should take it, while the Zanfoga variant is meant for cyclists.
Along the way
The 100 km marker
Near A Brea and Morgade a stone marker shows 100 km to Santiago, a favourite photo stop.

Portomarín
The old town was flooded in the 1960s by the Belesar reservoir. The fortress-church of San Nicolás was moved stone by stone to the new town, and the numbers carved on its blocks can still be seen.
