In 2018 a bar and an albergue opened their doors to pilgrims, allowing pilgrims to divide the route into four days of walking no more than 26km a day with a short last day..

The Road

The camino passes quickly through the twin hamlets of As Porteliñas and As Abeleiroas on the way to the church and hamlet of Corzón.

After an hour of walking in torrential, horizontal rain it was so very nice to arrive to this albergue with lovely Tanya to welcome everyone. She knew everyone by name and was so warm and kind. Bathrooms are clean, room is spacious with plenty of space between bunkbeds.
The veggie option on the menu was very good.

This is THE BEST albergue and the 12€ dinner was fabulous, with vego options! Lovely hosts and worth planning your walk to stay here.

I read all the positive comments and chose to walk 7kms further today to experience this albergue for myself. I’m so glad I did!
On a practical level the albergue has everything a pilgrim could want: lovely indoor and outdoor communal areas; super comfortable beds with warm quilts; lockable lockers (no coins required); washing and drying machines and hand wash facilities; big fridge, kettle, microwave; delicious home-cooked food (menú del día with 3 choices each course, bread, wine or water, pudding and great coffee…all for 12€); and, best of all, a wonderful, welcoming, friendly, professional hostess in Tanya.
10/10…if I ever walk this way again I will definitely stay here a second time :-)

If you are headed to Finisterre or Muxia, this is a wonderful stop to split the final leg from Negreira. The albergue is super clean and comfortable. There’s a basic kitchen with microwave, but you won’t need it as the restaurant is right across from the albergue. If you are a vegetarian, they have options, including for the pilgrim meal in the evening. The hosts are accommodating, super friendly, and speak English, if that’s important to you.

By this point, you’ve likely stayed in dozens of albergues. This is one of the best. It exudes character and warmth, and is well worth the stop to recharge for your push to the end of the world.

I absolutely loved my stay here! One of the best dinners on the Camino from the Albergue restaurant - reasonably priced for 2 courses, dessert and wine. The beds include lovely soft blankets, the windows open for cross-breeze and still have curtains, everyone in the Albergue slept so soundly! Breakfast starts at 7 so it’s a perfect pilgrim start. A sure sight for sore eyes after a long day, but easy to split the distance from here to Cee. Everything you could want and need for a Camino stay with excellent Camino spirit.

Clean, well organized albergue with a bar offering various food options (even made vegetarian meals for me!). The host is beyond kind and helped me have a great stay. I highly recommend Monte Aro albergue!

This hostel is above the others. The hostess is such a kind, warm-hearted, welcoming young woman. The premises and food are top. Everyone is so serviceminded and likes pilgrims.

This is the best albergue we have stayed at over the whole trip from St Jean Pied de Port. Tanya and the staff are very welcoming, friendly, smiley and are great hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. The facilities are first rate and very comfortable and warm. Showers are excellent. The meal was very good and generous and just what was need after a long day of walking. This albergue is exceptional and I would highly recommend staying here.
