It is said that the ovens that produced lime for the construction of the Cathedral were here in Castañeda. Pilgrims carried the raw materials here from Triacastela and swapped it for lime which they carried to Santiago.
It is uphill once more, followed by a steady descent into the valley below, steep at points.

This is a great place to stop for a coffee, play the guitar, spend the night or just have a pilgrim chat. All donativo and a unique experience. Most recommendable!
