It looks like this leg is about 14 km. Just wondering if I need to pack all water and any food that I might need. Gracias.

There are no cafes directly on route. There are two or three fuentes with good water. No shops.

Its 14 km or about three and a half hours walking, 4 on a hot day. Eat breakfast, drink a litre of water, carry a litre of water. Job done.

5 km outside of Muxia where you come down the forest path and first see a beautiful beach and the sea on the left the path has a rock wall with a water pipe pouring clean water. I drank from itband survived to do another full Camino.

there are two fountains. one just before morquintián (with a lovely stone cross nearby) and one after xurarantes (on the descent to the main road which you then follow into muxía, as @Colette Zaharie mentiones).

there were some drink machines in the first village after lires, frixe, which should also have a cafe and a small shop on the main road about 600m off the camino.

You can eat something in the cafe in Lires if you're hungry, no need to carry food.... You can also replenish your water there, of course. Oh, and a stamp for your credential if you want the Muxiana certificate

Xurarantes means swear before.
I hope this has nothing to do with the fountain.

Yes, but it’s just as you leave a forest path and get your first glimpse of the crystal blue waters of Muxia. It’s a pipe coming out of a rock on your left. I remember it well because I rescued and returned to Muxia a dog that followed some pilgrims out of the town. It only took me half a day to find his owner.

I've walked from Muxia to Lires twice and it was no problem and not difficult. Bring water and a granola bar or some chocolate and you will be just fine.
