Fonfría ('cold fountain') sits on the descent from the Alto do Poio to Triacastela. The name is apt — at this altitude, the water from the village fountain runs cold year-round. A couple of albergues and a bar serve pilgrims. The village retains its mountain character: stone houses, slate roofs, the sound of cowbells.

I had a tomato avocado apple mozzarella salad with rock salt olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was amazing and huge. I wish I could include a photo. Home made desserts looked amazing. Too.

Il posto è molto accogliente, si mangia bene, molto pulito e ti puoi far fare anche un bel massaggio. Il personale è molto gentile. Il mio telefono non prendeva molto bene il segnale.

I agree with what was said in the 21 June 2024 comment. It’s still great - don’t skip the dinner.

Casa Galego was among my best stays on the entire Camino Frances. Incredibly modern, well appointed, and clean, with flexible food service and full laundry. I got a massive green salad full of fresh veggies I had been missing the whole way until then, and the communal dinner served the most tender and tasty beef I had the whole way as well.

But the highlight is the hosts who really care about their guests. I was there October 8, 2024 as tropical storm Kirk was lashing the region, and our hosts made sure every single guest had safe passage to their next destination whether it was Triacasta, Samos, or Sarria.

Wise Pilgrim, please add Casa Galego to your accomodations list for Fonfria. You’d be doing all your users a service.

Hands down the best albergue we stayed during our camino. This is extremely well run, can book via WA, hot showers, and has a very cozy feeling to it.

We absolutely loved this place and slept like babies after a long day.

Food is great too with many veg friendly options. Try the local cow cheese!

I stopped at this establishment to wait 2 hours before I caught a Monbus at the stop just below it on the road. The owner was wonderful and helped me locate the stop, gave me ice for my sore knee and was so kind to everyone that stopped in. It appears a brand new establishment, that is very modern and clean. I can’t thank the owner enough for her kindness to a pilgrim!

I agree with all the comments on Casa Galego! Beautiful place, the owner will make any food you like, and there is laundry. A must on the Camino!

Closed until 2024 season starts, but just wanted to say that we had a great experience, comfortable, clean room, but the icing on the cake was the communal dinner. At this stage you will likely know many people and have a great, social experience. The hosts made a real effort. Definitely recommended.
