Arzua to Pedrouzo
The fact is, by the time I reach this point, I'm so ready to be in Santiago, I don't take many photos!
But here are a few notes.
Two of my favorite places in Pedrouzo are Pension Maribel and Pension Arco.
They both are on a side street of Pedrouzo, and there are two ways to get there.
One is via the regular Camino. One is a shortcut through shaded forest. Google Maps will show you both routes.
Both Maribel and Arco will take reservations.
Tomorrow you will arrive in Santiago. If you leave by 8 am, you should be walking into the city by noon.
My advice regarding getting your Compostela? Check the pilgrim office on your way into town. If there is a long long line, find out what time they open in the morning and get in line 1/2 hour earlier the next morning. Today, go rest, have a drink, and enjoy Santiago!

| Chanterelles! |
 |
| Pension Arca is right next door to Pension Maribel. Both are lovely. |
 |
| Pension Arca has a nice back yard where you can hang out and rest. |
 |
| Nice bedrooms |
 |
| The obligatory pilgrim clothes waashing basin |
 |
| Pension Maribel is my FIRST choice because Pension Arca uses fragrance, which hurts my head. |
 |
| You will find these clothes drying racks all long the Camino. Bring safety pins instead of clothespins so your clothes don't blow off (or walk away). |
 |
| The black road is the regular Camino. You can take the yellow shortcut to Maribel. |
Both Maribel and Arco will take reservations.

 |
| A bit of road walking here |
 |
| I just love all the old doors! |
 |
| This is the tiny albergue at Eirexe, a former schoolhouse. I think it has about 3-12 beds. I loved staying here back in 2009. |
 |
| I stayed here at Pension Eirexe this year. Quite nice. |

| I love these dispensers at the bar at Eirexe |
 |
