If you fancy oysters — and you should — Arcade is the place. The Ostras de Arcade have a protected designation and are harvested from the ria just below town. Several bars along the waterfront serve them fresh. The bridge to Pontesampaio crosses the estuary with a strip of sand on both sides — suitable for a dip.

We stayed a night in hotel las Islas in Arcade which was much better than the one star the hotel has, at least with a room with balkon and sea view. Great stay and nice garden with a swimmingpool , go if you have the time.

I agree with others who say this is a great place to eat. The owners and staff were amazing and the food was excellent! We were there during mid-afternoon and loved it. We won’t forget this experience.

Crossing the highway to walk a smaller road only to have to cross the highway beginning is unnecessary danger given there is a high lock that point

We had an amazing evening meal here of pulpo, paella, and tarta de Santiago. Plenty of wine and grappa and a warm welcome. All for €16. It feels very homely - the cook/ proprietor is a lovely older woman and her husband, and she can really cook.

Very modern. Sheets and towel included in 12 euro price. Located on N side of Arcade about 100m after the bridge on the camino. Well signed so easy to find.

Stayed at Filla do Mar. Nice cafe attached, and free washer/dryer. Overall clean and modern. I was placed in albuerge next door, which looks like someone’s home but is also clean and not over crowded. The views coming into town are beautiful.

Excellent three-course home-cooked pilgrim meal at Hotel Isape as well as clean comfortable rooms.
