The camino delivers you directly to the front door of the Monasterio de Armenteira and to the two bars in town. Directly in front of you is the more popular of the two. The albergue is set off from town by a few hundred meters, follow the camino arrows and they will lead you to the albergue.

The Road

From Armenteira the camino joins a popular (among locals) trail known as the Ruta de la Piedra y del Agua. It follows along a creek, with trails on both sides, as it descends to sea level. Along the way, it passes several dozen abandoned water mills. Note that although you can safely and easily follow both sides of the river, it is the right-hand side that keeps you closer to the mills and the water.

Camino de Sant…

And all others.
There was an elderly man shortly behind a Armenteira next to the river and came way to close to basically ever women we talked to that day
From being over friendly and wanting each one to come to his museum just off the track, to trying to dance with 1, trying ti kiss3 out of the 5 women we met. He grabbed on by the arm and she backed away that she almost fell on the river. She felt, like the others extremely uncomfortable because she was holding her way to tight.
We will also report to guarda civil. This is a watch out.

Just before you get to the bars in Armenteira there is a mobile home on your right. It has a queen bed in a separate room, a room with 2 twin beds and a room with a bunk bed. Capacity is 6 people. Very small, but close to the bars. Currently not much else being offered accept a place to stay. 15 euro for a twin and 30 euro for the queen. Shower, hot water, kitchen, no laundry, no wifi, but you can walk to the bar and use theirs. Would be fun if your a small group and wanted your own place. +34 670 32 71 86

Cannot recommend this hostel highly enough - it is 2km from the monastery however Carlos the host, is an absolute gem and happily collected us in his gorgeous little car and he also brought us back later in the evening for the pilgrim
blessing. Nothing is too much trouble for this lovely man, he was so helpful and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast good, then Carlos takes you back to the monastery in the morning to start Camino. Five stars!

Lovely stay. They pick up from the monastery. Dinner and breakfast prepared and they take you back to the Camino in the morning. Very cool wax stamp for the credential.

The Monastery is understandably very popular, so ensure you pre-book. I couldn’t get a response by phone, but did by email.

If you love waterfalls and every shade of green… We are going to love the next 3 1/2 miles. Get your camera ready.

I waited until 4:30 pm when the monastery office opened to try to get a room and they said no pilgrims. I had waited there for hours and after being turned away the albergue was full. All 35 beds were taken. I paid €4 to sleep on a mattress on the floor next to the bar. Do not wait on the monastery for a bed.

Email the hospedaria in advance to check on availability - it's well worthy the effort.
