A Laxe or Lalin?

The Invierno goes right through Lalín, or it's a few km detour from the Sanabrés. It's a lively town with some nice restaurants and hotels. A Laxe is 4km closer to Santiago and has a xunta albergue, with a restaurant nearby on the main road than can deliver food (the albergue kitchen had one bowl and a grapefruit knife last time I stayed there).
