Camino MomentRest and RechargeO Cadavo is not a town of monuments or must-see sights. It is a place to rest. After days of mountain crossings, steep climbs, and remote villages, a quiet night in a small Galician town with a comfortable bed, a hot shower, and a good meal is exactly what your body and mind need. The Primitivo demands a lot. O Cadavo gives you space to recover.
