Camino de Invierno Stage 7

From Rodeiro we continue by the C-533 in the direction of Lalín. We cross A Ponte do Hospital over the River Arnego, where the place name reminds us of the historical presence of a pilgrim hospital. We will cross the River Arnego several times up to Penerbosa. A Puza and A Penela are the next towns. Lands of good quarry workers and excellent meat. We cross the medieval bridge of Pedroso. We then find the town of A Ponte, the ancient place for accommodation, for this reason it is also known as Mesón (Inn). Many of the ground floors of its houses still conserve the ledges or sills which served as counters for serving the travellers. We pass through Val do Boi, Coto da Anta — now in the limit with the Municipality of Lalín — and we go up to the Coto da Mamuela — in reference to a field of funeral mounds —. On the right rises monte Farelo and behind us O Faro stands out. Among chestnut trees we find the stream called Rego do Barranco. We then arrive at the town of Palmaz.
