The Road

Arrows at the end of town, opposite the ‘Restaurante 2000,’ direct you up the stairs and to your right to pass the church and albergue.

They eventually bring you back to the road, which you must follow for about 400m. Follow the road signs for Quintiães to the left, and shortly thereafter leave the road along a gravel track on your right.

Great hostel. Very modern and clean. We drought paper linen for €1 each extra and we didn’t have a sleeping bag, so they provided us with two blankets each. The man working there, Carlos was absolutely wonderful. Very kind and helpful. There is a kitchen there, washing machine and dryer. Be careful though, the dryer isn’t great and out clothes didn’t dry over night hanging on the rack. They had very basic groceries that we bought.

I would also be mindful that one of the other guests was sitting outside by the church where she caught a man masturbating. Police were informed but apparently he does this over the 10km radius of the area. Especially if you’re a single female traveller, keep your wits about you and be safe.

This restaurant is conveniently located adjacent to the albergue. They have a pilgrim menu for 8e which doesn’t include bread,drinks, or desert. The food was good but the service was poor. The waiter was upset when my wife asked for ketchup for her French fries and slammed down 6 or 8 bottles of every condiment on our table. We asked for the check several times but he would not bring it. Finally we guessed at the bill and started to leave and finally got the bill.Overall to waiter was a arrogant, unhelpful and rude.
