Combarro might just be one of the most charming and quintessentially Galician villages on the whole coast. Fishermen have worked these seas for centuries, and the horreós that line the coast (and which appear to hover just above the waterline) were used to dry fish as well as grain.

The town is small and compact and the camino does not actually see the best parts, to get to them keep going straight where the camino turns uphill to the right to join the road.  It would be hard to get lost in Combarro, but if you do deviate from the camino be aware that there is another variation whose arrows might lead you very much astray.

The Road

The Variante Espiritual crosses the road and immediately begins its ascent of the Monte Redondo. The climb varies in intensity from extremely steep to gently rolling and back again. Go gently.

Stayed there in May 2023, seemed a reasonable price for a hotel room on booking.com. It's close to the water, good food at at the bat downstairs. Considering the bar, it didn't seem too noisy, but I had just walked almost 30Km from Redondola, so I was already a bit tired, maybe.?
All that said, a good location and price, no complaints from me.

I agree with the opinion expressed above: Pinela Terraza is a lovely place to stop upon entering Combarro. The view of the water is spectacular, the terrace is a comfortable place to put down your pack in a corner, and you can have cerveza, Albariño, americano and/or Santiago cake. And Hotel Combarro, right across the street, is a friendly and comfortable place to prepare for the next morning’s arduous climb to Armenteira.

What an amazing little town that has zest and has great vibes. We are super happy we are spending the night here, it truly is special and beautiful! Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Entrepedras right on the river!

It is a great place to stay. Clean, great garden, good beds, etc. The Village is touristy but worthwhile.

We booked a 2 bedroom apt with Casa Noelmar. When we got to Combarro we were wet and tired. We sent a text thru WhatsApp and the manager met us promptly. It was such a cute historic place. Do be careful if you are tall. Would stay there again anytime! The heat was working - this helped dry our wet clothes.

Combarro ist ein wunderschöner Ort mit entspannender Atmosphäre. Bisher der schönste Ort auf meinem Weg. Die Herberge Nuestra Senora del Camino ist sehr schön, sauber gut organisiert und hat einen paradiesischen Garten zum Seele entspannen. Ich bin absolut begeistert! Die Leiterin des Hostels ist herzlich, sehr angenehm und hilfreich. Eine traumhafte Kombination von Unterkunft und Ortschaft.

Albergue not listed here was lovely … not sure how to submit it, so I’m leaving a comment. It is very clean, modern, and has really great shower facilities. :-) Outdoor patio, yard, and a common room with kitchen and tv. Really nice.

Just before entering Combarro, there is a lovely restaurant with a view on the left. The owners are lovely, the food amazing and they even had a vegan burger! It was a great lunch before visiting Combarro.
