A Guarda si vanta di servire il pesce più fresco del giorno in Galizia.

Storia

Il punto di riferimento naturale più importante di Guarda è la vetta della montagna a sud, il Monte de Santa Trega. Se decidi di fare un'escursione fino alla cima sarai ricompensato con qualcosa di più di una splendida vista. Lungo la salita si trova un forte celtico dell'Età del Ferro (castro) e un museo, mentre in cima si trova una piccola cappella.

Il cammino

Lascia A Guarda lungo la Rúa Puerto Rico, passando davanti all'albergue comunale. Le frecce sono scarse e il modo migliore è tenere d'occhio un cartello che indica la strada per Playa Area Granda, una svolta a sinistra dalla Rúa Puerto Rico.

Segui questa strada fino al mare e gira a destra. Davanti a te c'è una piccola spiaggia, seguita da una curva della strada e poi da una spiaggia leggermente più grande. Questa è l'Area Grande.

Room was not cleaned at all. kept finding hair that did not belong to me in the bathroom, the bed, etc. had to go down to the reception twice to ask for a room change, but they said there were no rooms and sent in an old lady, who does not speak English (and blames the cleaner constantly) to clean the bathroom and change the sheets.

When the day reveption arrived, they issued a full refund. But it was a night of terror.

I feel like they do not like pilgrims in A Guarda, and try to use the language barrier to their advantage.

Pizzeria Di Marco though - superb pizzas. Amazing service. Lovely people.

$50+ for bed bugs and a manager (maybe owner) who treats you like trash, did not offer any help whatsoever with laundry - even going so far as saying the hotel does not have a laundry and will not do that service which is ridiculous because how else are they doing their sheets - and acting annoyed just for giving me a change of room at 1am and basically pretended nothing happened.

If he had so much as offered consolation and some help rather than giving me dirty looks and ignoring me the next day, i would not have asked for a refund. because of the poor treatment and lack of help that led to a disastrous laundromat situation that ruined a ton of my gear, i asked for a refund and he pretended he did not understand and then practically threw it at my face. avoid if you can.

You would think seafood is king near the ocean. Somehow this town doesn’t have good seafood nor regular food. Stayed at Eli Mar hotel and their breakfast was very disappointing. Croissant, coffee and juice not ideal for a pilgrimage.

Did not care for the food. Disappointed since near the ocean.

Very Spanish style rustic hotel and room. No air conditioning.

Perfect location and a gorgeous place. They even offered a taste of Port wine and cookies in the parlor. Wine bar is next door, restaurants are plentiful and live music was just outside the church. Super comfy room with private bath and the most amazing massaging shower head ever. Get the breakfast too - best one on the Camino and they can also do gluten free if you ask ahead.

If you have an early start on the Camino and are leaving AGUARDA there are not a lot of services until Oia there is a really nice store called Blanco on the main road that has pretty much everything you could need and Bar a few doors down has nice coffee.

FYI about A Guarda. If you’re coming off a long day and crossing over to Spain and arriving on a Sunday do shopping in Portugal because NOTHING is open in Spain. Including the hotel bars. No services at Hotel Eli Mar. better off sleeping staying in Camhina.

I’m at the Albergue at the moment and I enjoy every minute of it! The facilities are tidy and clean, the privacy you get with the curtains is great and the host-Fernando is the such kind and caring person!

Loved the privacy curtains . Clean . Upstairs were rooms and downstairs had a well equipped kitchen that I was able to cook a storm and do my laundry for 3 euro . The beach was 5 mins walk down .
