Watch For:
Ribadiso da Baixo – (pop 9) Not much happening, but it is a pretty little village with full service. Dining recommendation: Mesón Rural Ribadiso. Indoor fireplace and backyard terrace. Excellent food.
Arzúa – Known as la tierra de queso (the land of cheese). Cheese shops open 9a-1:30p.
Dining:
Restaurante Casa Nene (Rúa Cima do Lugar, 1) expensive. “Might be one of the best places to eat on the entire Camino” Bebee.
Churreria O Furancho d’Santiso (Calle de Lugo, 9) Tapas bar and restaurant – a gregarious place for pilgrim diners. Excellent menú del peregrino (Bebee)
Café Bar Praza (Rúa Lugo, 2) is a central hub on the prominent corner of the main road and town square. Breakfast is divine. (Bebee)
