Once past the Ponte de Vaosilveiro, we arrive at Lires, a charming village already accustomed to pilgrims, who pass among granaries (horreos) and tastefully restored rural houses. The accommodation options are wide and varied, so we recommend it for a few days.
In the center of town, you can find the Bar As Eiras, which also offers accommodation and a restaurant, always open. Keep in mind that you won’t find anything else until you reach Fisterra.
Lires has always been an example of working together, a neighborhood that already demonstrated this unity in the late 1960s, as shown in this old documentary, which shows the entire process for installing water.
The Church of San Estevo was built in the 17th century on the remains of an earlier one, closer to the estuary.
From the bridge, the Camino de Santiago de Compostela begins on the left, but we continue along O Camiño dos Faros, passing the cemetery on the right, to discover this natural paradise: the Lires Estuary.
