Arzúa

A Coruña, Galicia

Where the Camino Norte joins the Francés — and the home of Galicia's most famous cheese.

Arzúa-Ulloa is one of Galicia's four protected-origin cheeses: creamy, mild, and unmistakable on every Camino bar's tabla. The town centre is small but the surrounding countryside is pure rural Galicia.
