At the top of O Cebreiro, you will find his sanctuary. Beautiful construction with great views. You can enjoy their masses for pilgrims or light a candle after your hard sacrifice on the long climb.

Casa Polín

Highlight • Restaurant

If you're staying in Herrerías de Valcarce, Casa Polín is a highly recommended place.
There are few rooms, but they're very clean. Lunch and dinner are cheap and plentiful, even if you choose from the set menu.
100% recommended.
