A Rúa

A Rúa is a small locality in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, on the Camino Frances on the penultimate stage between Arzúa and O Pedrouzo. The name means the road or street in Galician, a simple toponym describing a settlement along a main route.

The hamlet provides basic services on the final approach to O Pedrouzo, including a bar-café that serves pilgrims on what is often a long final stage. The surrounding terrain is the enclosed woodland and farmland typical of the final A Coruña stages.

For pilgrims, A Rúa is a practical passage point near O Pedrouzo, the simple road toponym appropriate for a settlement whose identity is defined by the route passing through it.
