Caminoen fører dig direkte til hoveddøren til Monasterio de Armenteira og til de to barer i byen. Lige foran dig ligger den mest populære af de to. Alberguet ligger et par hundrede meter fra byen, følg pilene på caminoen, og de vil føre dig til alberguet.

The Road

Fra Armenteira slutter caminoen sig til en populær (blandt de lokale) sti kendt som Ruta de la Piedra y del Agua. Den følger en bæk med stier på begge sider, mens den falder ned til havets overflade. Undervejs passerer den flere dusin forladte vandmøller. Bemærk, at selvom du sikkert og nemt kan følge begge sider af floden, er det den højre side, der holder dig tættere på møllerne og vandet.

There is a new alburgue in Armenteira- Albergue Caroi, which only opened a month ago. We saw it today. Very clean. There are group rooms and double ensuite rooms. I think they are available on booking.com €25 in a group room or €70 for a private twin room. Free laundry facilities and kitchen area. Views to the monastery.

I agree about O Comercio, absolutely rude and horrible service. They completely ignored me as I stood at the counter for a very long time. They refused to acknowledge me until a local gentleman told them to help me. I then had to practically beg them to pay my bill because they were ignoring my presence. I should have just left without paying because they wouldn’t have noticed anyway.
However, I stayed at Alburgue Armenteira and it’s lovely. A bit off the trail though and there are many flies which are annoying but otherwise it’s clean and comfortable. Carlos is a very kind person.

for lunch & dinner, and lodgings - there is a new private albergue in os castanos and seems more laid back / pilgrim-friendly.

Otherwise, practice your Spanish - it will make things easier. and try make reservations at the private albergues in 2 days in advance.

They do not take reservations in the summer season, so was similar to the albergues (first come, first served). Their hours of operation are odd though - please check their website. https://www.monasteriodearmenteira.es/peregrinos/

They were a lifesaver to me who had no accommodation.

There is wrong information about this Albergue in the app. They don’t serve dinner or breakfast- you will have to walk 1 km to Armanteira Monestery

One of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in Galicia. We waited over 40 minutes for a single, poorly cooked pork steak served with stale French fries and a sad excuse for a salad (literally two limp leaves). The waiters were rude and completely uninterested, and when we asked to split the bill (we were sitting with a friend we happened to meet), they refused with an aggressive attitude.

This place feels like a tourist trap—overpriced, low quality, and absolutely no respect for customers. The only good thing was walking away from it.

Go a few meters further to ‘A Fonte’, a much smaller bar with far better food, friendly service, and a more authentic atmosphere. Don’t waste your time or money here.

All the albergues seem filled! . I called Ana (she prefers a what’s app message) she came and picked me up at the monastery and brought me to this private home. A beautiful room to myself, use of the kitchen and even a back yard pool. All for 25 E- This has been the BEST experience ever!! Such kindness!!! I am grateful!!

Here is phone number of a very helpful lady if you have no bed anymore…

+34 653 684 144

She does not speak much English, but with google translate it works out. She is owner of multiple houses and she picks you up at monastery and takes you to nearby rooms in places she owns. I paid 30eur for a room in a private villa shared with other pilgrims in other rooms. They also delivered me the food for dinner and the lady promised to take me back to monastery on the following day in the morning. Gracias Ana. 🙏
