Hi!

My email to the A Portela albergue was returned and my sms did not get an answer.
Can somebody tell me please whether the albergue is open? Gronze says it is.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Gronze is very reliable, but I did a quick search and found their facebook page. As you can see, they say they are open.

They also indicate on that page that they use WhatsApp. In my experience, email is generally a much less effective way of communicating with all sorts of businesses in Spain and Portugal than WhatsApp. Just WhatsApp them directly and I bet you will hear back quickly.

Gracias! Normally, I am more than happy to go through life without FB or WA, but this time my wife was happy to show that sometimes FB is actually good to have ;) Ok, I left A Portela a message there.
