Castroncelos

The Road

There is a sign posted in A Ponte, which illustrates the way to Monforte. There are various routes in these parts, and although most of them will eventually lead you to Castroncelos, only one of them is well marked.

Shortly outside of Barxo, after crossing over the bridge, a trail splits off to the right of the road. DO NOT take that trail, but rather head upwards along the wider road. It will take a few turns, and you may well get the sensation of going the wrong direction as it zigs and zags. Eventually, it will straighten out, and you will once again have the N-120 on your left at the bottom of the hill.

Ignore all signs for the ironical name GR-8.

What a great place to stay. Room, food location, kindness, dog! All wonderful.

The recommendation about this place saved me! I planned to walk from o barco to Quiroga and then to Monforte. But after walking the 40k to Quiroga today there’s no way my feet would last another 40k tomorrow. I also booked on the chat function and they responded immediately

I stayed at the Pension Pacita which was very welcoming. I booked through the chat option on Google maps. They also provided an excellent evening meal including the best steak I’ve had for a very long time.

After the bridge at the tip of the hill next to the church is a new potable water point - very welcome
