Vilanova es una encantadora ciudad portuaria costera con muchos bares y opciones gastronómicas, pero sin mucho más aparte de contemplar el mar.

The Road

EL BARCO. Todo lo que necesitas saber sobre el barco a Pontecesures es imposible de imprimir aquí. El horario varía según la marea, el número de pasajeros y los caprichos del capitán y del hospitalero del albergue (el que hace los preparativos). El asunto se complica por el hecho de que el mismo capitán timonea dos barcos de diferentes tamaños y capacidades y hay un cálculo diario para maximizar el beneficio. Desgraciadamente, esto significa que poco puedes hacer para planearlo con días de antelación, y más o menos tienes que presentarte en el albergue y arreglar las cosas con el hospitalero.

EL CAMINO. La alternativa al barco es un paseo predominantemente por carretera a lo largo de un sendero que refleja aproximadamente la línea de costa, pero que no proporciona mucho contacto con ella. Las flechas faltan en algunas zonas y sólo se debe confiar en los alojamientos de este tramo durante los meses punta del verano y con reserva previa.

Wonderful time and the food was great. Run by a family for decades. Jorge and his sister Helena were delightful hosts and their Mother does the cooking! Best food of the trip! Very much worth the stay.

If you have a reservation on Barco Peregrino be sure to check with them the night before. They cancelled our 9:30 boat sent an email they were leaving an hour early. I didn’t see the email until 8:30 and the boat was gone! We ended up walking.

We arrived in Vila Nova at about 5pm and almost all the boats were fully booked. We got the last 3 spots. Prebook.

Nice, cozy room to stay in for a good price. Weak internet in the room. Has kitchen, bathroom and 5 minutes walk to the beach.

Wer Bedenken hat, einen Platz in der Herberge zu bekommen, kann im Hotel Dinajan, zwei Kilometer vor Vila Nova de Arousa (an der Brücke zur Insel) ein Doppelzimmer für 40 Euro bekommen.
Es sind 100 m zum Strand, ein Supermarkt ist in der Nähe und am Campingplatz kann man gut essen.

You want the Route Translatio from Villanova to Pontecesure. 25€.

Or there are other companies that take you on a rib style sporty boat.

I stayed here in Apr 2023, in a private room. Take care, the hot and cold taps were reversed!! Generally a good stay. There was a washing machine but only a small rack on which to hang laundry to dry. Main shopping area is a short walk, with several bars, cafe and restaurants close by. The hospitalera was great. Welcoming and helpful. Basic breakfast that I supplemented from the local supermarket, but several cafes were also open nearby in the morning.

The phone number listed everywhere for the public albergue appears to belong to someone else now. There was another number posted for “Fran” who I believe was the woman sitting at the check in desk. +34 633319459

I booked in advance online with Amare Turismo Náutico. Very efficient system. Cost €30 per person. They use two modern open speed boats which make for quite an exciting trip and get you to the destination ahead of the larger Pilgrim boat. Some stops on the way to point out things of interest. Commentary in Spanish and Spanglish. We did it in beautiful sunny weather. Might not be so much fun in the rain.
