Vilanova er en dejlig havneby ved havet med masser af barer og madmuligheder, men ikke meget andet end at kigge ud over havet.

The Road

BÅDEN. Alt, hvad du behøver at vide om båden til Pontecesures, er umuligt at skrive her. Tidsplanen varierer med tidevandet, antallet af passagerer og kaptajnens og hospitaleroens luner på alberguet (ham, der arrangerer det hele). Sagen kompliceres af, at den samme kaptajn styrer to både af forskellig størrelse og kapacitet, og der er en daglig beregning for at maksimere profitten. Desværre betyder det, at man ikke kan gøre meget for at planlægge det flere dage i forvejen, og at man mere eller mindre er nødt til at møde op på alberguet og arrangere tingene med hospitaleroen.

VEJEN. Alternativet til båden er en overvejende vejvandring ad en sti, der nogenlunde spejler kystlinjen, men ikke giver megen kontakt med den. Pilene mangler i visse områder, og overnatningsmulighederne langs denne strækning bør kun benyttes i sommermånederne og kun med reservation.

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

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.

When you walk across the wooden bridge into Vilanova de Arousa, there is a boat office more or less straight across the road. FYI it closes in the afternoon and re-opens at 4pm. I got a ticket for the following morning- 23 euros cash- with either a 7 or 9.30am departure

Camino de Sant…

Wished I went straight here instead of the municipal. We poked our head in and the owner invited us to look around. Beautifully renovated, small albergue. Looked like two rooms of 4 people and a camas matrimonial. €17 for a bunk. Awesome. Lovely hospitalero too.

October 2019, there operate 2 companies, A Mare and Pilgrims boat. went at 8, 9 and 11 o'clock. Both costs around 20€. We booked in advance, but in Vilanova is Office and you can buy the tickets evening before in the town.
I highly recommend to wear everything you have, its very windy and cold!!!!! on A Mare open boats.
Ride takes 1 hour 15 minutes. You will receive a stamp. No problem taking boat to get Camino ať the end.

It would not be wise to turn up without having booked the boat. As of 27 April 2019 it can sell out and there are brochures with phone numbers (also in the Brierly book).

Camino de Sant…

Does the boat generally go in the morning? I understand it depends on the tide. But generally.?

Camino de Sant…

23/3 2019 the boat only sails when 8 are going to join .
