Briallos

Situé le long d'une déviation du camino, bien signalé. Il ajoute quelques mètres au trajet mais dispose d'une albergue municipale dans une ville tranquille.

The Road

Avant d'arriver à Briallos, le camino s'approche de la N550 une fois de plus. À cet endroit, des panneaux indiquent le Parc naturel du Rio Barosa, et les chutes d'eau. Les chutes d'eau se trouvent à 500 m sur la route, juste en face de ce point, et constituent un détour qui en vaut la peine. Des aires de pique-nique ainsi qu'un bar et des toilettes se trouvent au pied des chutes.

Albergue is closed, but if you message the owner he will offer you to stay in a different house. You should ask how many people is he going to host that night. While house is delightful, the night we were there were 18 people and one bathroom. With so many people in one not very large place, it was also very noisy. If that doesn't bother you, the place is wonderful, nice backyard, pool and the host cooked an amazing meal and left some things for breakfast.

As of April 2026 this Albergue is no longer in business.

We didn’t stay here but had lunch at the restaurant next to the falls. Lovely spot, the wine was awesome. It was a very hot day, so nice way to relax for a bit before the final stretch of the walk today. WORTH THE DETOUR!!!

The worst of the worst hostels I've ever been to... mattresses on the floor, everything horrible. The manager, who is Portuguese, to my shame, yelled at everyone... I left an hour after arriving. The next day I came across pilgrims who told me they couldn't even sleep for fear. Zero rating... I think these owners are new and now the hostel is called Albergue da Portela.
It's horrible.

I had a picnic lunch with me which was just as well as the cafe was closed. Sat with feet in the refeshing water and rejuvenated while eating my lunch. I was almost the only one there at 11am on a Tuesday. Return to the Camino across the bridge and then between the houses. Cross the highway safely where the bus stop is near the garden centre.

Its not the newest Alberque but th one with the best charm and a lot of "charakter". Youre not a customer, youre a friend and a guest. This was the experience and vibe I was missing from my experience on the french camino. Amazing place!

The place is basic, but the atmosphere was fantastic. Hammocks in the garden were welcome after a 38 degree heat, the host, Elena, was kind, gracious but firm in the albergue expectations.
The food was delicious & great community spirit in conversation around both dinner & breakfast table.

A huge jug of sangria was made for dinner & fabulous relaxing chilled music to accompany the evening.

Helpful but tired of his job host yesterday. The place was v clean, well run, clean bed etc the communal meal a lovely idea but it was a watery terrible lentil and chorizo soup and bread and boiled eggs, with left over bread eggs and biscuits offered for breakfast

If you want to experience the true Camino, away from the frills of some newer more modern Albergue, give this one a try. Very basic accommodations from a warm and welcoming host (Jorge). He cooked a hot meal first all. One of the highlights of my Camino was sitting with all the other guest breaking bread. In most Albergues pilgrims scatter, here they gather and share. A great experience that should be enjoyed at least once on your Camino.

…but it may not be for everyone. I had a great time there, for what it’s worth. Nothing even approaching fancy about the place, but Jorge was a warm and welcoming host and made sure we all (both omnivores and vegetarians) got a warm and hearty supper on a cool, rainy evening. The place is small but has all the necessities. Because of all the rain and the pervasive humidity, the floor never did get dry that night/morning, but all us pilgrims passed a comfortable night and were uniformly happy we stayed there! I’d stay again!
