Things to do in Arzúa
Arzúa has more than octopus bars and yellow arrows. These are the places that work best if you arrive early or stay a day.
Church of Santiago de Arzúa
A 19th-century church in the town centre, dedicated to the apostle Saint James and recognisable by its two towers. It is a few metres from the Camino and a good place to stamp your credential.
Capela da Fonte Santa
A small 18th-century chapel on the outskirts, known for its spring and the legends around it. A quiet place to stretch your legs.
Magdalena Chapel
A 14th-century Gothic chapel in the centre that belonged to an old pilgrim hospital. You can also get your stamp here.
Hortas Waterfall
A waterfall about 30 metres high between Arzúa and Touro, surrounded by oak trees. It takes a bit of walking to get there, so bring comfortable shoes.
Cheese and Honey Information Centre
In the centre of town. It explains how Arzúa-Ulloa cheese is made and what beekeeping is like in the area.
Living Honey Museum: O Enredo do Abelleiro
Making the most of your time in Arzúa
If you arrive early or stay a day, Arzúa is easy to explore on foot: the old centre, the cheese market, the paths through the woods around town and some of the leisure routes we recommend. And for sleeping, our house is 400 m from the centre, with a terrace and barbecue for dinner outdoors after walking.
