Farming hamlet in Ordes near the church of San Pedro de Ardemil, where the Camino settles onto the flat plateau. On the way out, a quirky folk sculpture park complete with a wheeled dinosaur makes a fun photo stop.
Village in the parish of San Paio de Buscás, whose church of Romanesque origin shows a striking image of the martyred saint above a blind window. A good coffee stop after a pretty woodland stretch.
A Rúa is a village in the parish of San Paio de Buscás, in Ordes, reached after one of the prettiest short stretches of the stage, an 800-metre woodland path climbing gently beneath the trees from A Carballeira. It's a natural place to stop for a coffee,
