Arzúa developed along the Camino, and 13th-century documents refer to the route through the town as the Camiño de Oviedo, a name still preserved in Rúa do Camiño. The town is particularly known for Queixo Arzúa-Ulloa, a soft cow's-milk cheese produced throughout the surrounding region. A traditional market is held on the morning of the 8th and 22nd of each month, with local produce including cheese and other dairy products.
The Camiño do Norte joins the Camino Francés in Arzúa; the Camiño Primitivo has already joined the Francés in Melide.
