I highly recommend this detour to sobrado. Otherwise you end up earlier on the French route which can be very commercialised and crowded. Friol and Sobrado were well worth visiting.
Here is my walk from Lugo to Friol

towards the end we left the trail with arrows so we could avoid the mud, we did about 6km on the road, apart from that it was a nice walk.
What we found good was the wikiloc app, we could download the map and follow it. Some people going to Friol walked the whole way on the road, which they didn't enjoy. Green arrows in a forest are not the best, but the app was good because it put us back on the path.
Completed the 11 day 300km walk. You can find the camino I took on http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/user.do?name=Robert+Nugent&id=1927526
I don't have words to say how much I enjoyed it. If I could bottle it I would. Wish I had more days, but the 11 I did was fine. I would recommend you to do...
