Berán
A local camino association member, Abdón Fernández, lives in Berán, is keen to help pilgrims and has a stamp. He can be reached (in Spanish) on (should the phone number be posted here?).
Just after Berán there is a stone sculpture that...
If it’s just to have fresh clothes for a couple of days in Santiago, it doesn’t seem worth the hassle to me. If it’s for a longer post-camino trip, that’s a different story.
Here are a few of my numerous photos of the Fisherman's Trail to whet your appetite, although it has almost no Camino feel.

As I'll be travelling most of tomorrow I'll jump the gun and post about the stage after Ribadavia here.
If you've stayed in the Garden Lodge you'll save a good 15 or 20 minutes. You have a very pleasant walk along the river Avia through the...
As I sort of intimated yesterday, I'll be heading up there tomorrow. Being retired is an advantage, but it's a logistical nightmare getting to Lobios or Entrimo from my home city of Salamanca. It's looking like a bus to Zamora, train to Ourense...
