Briallos

Beliggende langs en afstikker af caminoen, godt skiltet. Det tilføjer et par meter til rejsen, men har et kommunalt albergue i en rolig by.

The Road

Før ankomsten til Briallos nærmer caminoen sig N550 endnu en gang. På dette sted er der skilte til Naturparken Rio Barosa og vandfaldene. Vandfaldene ligger 500 meter nede ad vejen lige overfor dette punkt og er en omvej værd. Der er picnicområder, en bar og et toilet ved foden af vandfaldene.

Have been more welcoming. From registration to the end of the night which included a communal dinner with excellent soup, wine and great conversation with pilgrims being from 8 different countries! The host is very proud of his Albergue and the role it plays in the Camino. Excellent place to stay and to enjoy the companionship- I recommend it highly.

Did not experience any of the rudeness , the other comments talked about.
Warm welcome with music and wood fire on to welcome me. Warm sleeping accommodation , which you can not say about many other A in December.
Warm soup and bread and eggs ready to take as well. Just lovely. Jorge and this Albergue I can recommend fully

Pedro strongly advised alburgue doesn’t open until 3pm and to come back then. Upon our return he was welcoming once he knew we had a reservation however he was volatile and agree with previous comments regarding his behavior towards guests.

Just as the other comments said, host is rude. Was yelling as a pilgrim to get out since they didn’t make a reservation yet there were 3 empty beds that never got filled. Communal dinner was a very weird experience as the host was extremely controlling the entire time.

Pedro is rude and condescending. This is the case towards women in particular as I hear the same story from most of the ladies I stayed with.
This put a dampener on such a beautiful space.
I feel as if Pedro enjoys the power especially during check in process.

I loved how they had lots of drinks and snacks for a donation. The communal dinner was also enjoyable esp because they cater to vegetarians.

It’s a shame that I very on edge about the host and felt afraid of him.

Es war eine tolle Erfahrung dort den Abend zu verbringen. Es wurde gemeinsam gegessen und getrunken. Tolle Menschen und toller Platz. Es war eine besondere positive Erfahrung und es gab alles was man brauchte.

3.05.2023/A detour to the Barro waterfall is worthwhile after a long hike. It is very nice to have a coffee/cold drink or to satisfy a small appetite with pizza by the rushing water. Very nice place.

Not sure about the previous comments about Pedro, he was nice actually, nothing unusual. Okay price, and a great communal dinner. It was actually really nice to stay at a place like this after all the previous albergues or hostels. Those who did not have a reservation could sleep on matrasses in a side building. After all everybody had a place to stay who got here.
To be honest, I would be more then happy to see more places like this on the Camino Portuguese or any other Caminos.

We stayed here for a night and it was wonderfull! We had a lovely diner and laughs with Pedro. We didn’t experienced anything from above.

The beds are good, there are extra blankets, beer and soda and gooda warm showers.
