O Burgo de Negral

O Burgo de Negral is a small locality in the province of Lugo, Galicia, on the Camino route in the central Lugo interior. The name means the borough of Negral, with burgo indicating a former chartered service settlement on the road network and Negral possibly referring to a dark-coloured rock, dark soil, or a local family name.

The burgo designation, as at San Vicente do Burgo, suggests a settlement with medieval service functions on the pilgrimage road. The surrounding terrain is the enclosed green valley landscape of the Lugo interior, with traditional farmsteads and the mixed woodland typical of this part of the province.
