Accommodation from Vilalba to Santiago

[dangif]

Hey folks, I've got 7 days to myself coming up and I'd really like to revisit the camino. I've walked it a few times before and this time I'd like to start in Vilalba. I've looked into access and flights to Santiago with Ryan Air are only £70 return and they arrive around 5pm. There is then a train from the airport to Vilalba at approx 7.20pm, I plan to stay one night in Vilalba then to begin walking the next day. Having had a look on a few sites I've not been able to get comprehensive information on hotels / guest houses along the route - there's a few that pop up in surrounding areas but I was hoping that someone on here could help out with places to stay that won't take me too far off my way. I'd like to know if there is a nice coastal route between Finistirre and Muxia too...Thanks!

Hi dangif
just a few thoughts from me, as no-one else has weighed in yet...
If you are after hotels/guesthouses, maybe check on another site like Eroski?
FWIW the Vilalba albergue is a couple km before the town. When I was there it was run by the bombeiros and unstaffed at night - but a good size, and modern.
Even if you prefer staying in guesthouses etc, you should consider staying at the monastery at Sobrado, which is a very special camino experience.
There's probably more about Finisterre and Muxia on other pages, but just to say - although both are coastal towns, only a small amount of the camino route is along the coast. I may be wrong, but it didn't look like the kind of coast where it is easy just to walk along the beach instead - there's to many cliffs, coves and private residences.
cheers, tom

Baamonde, Miraz, Sabrado de Monxes, walk past Arzua to Salceda, then Santiago. This would be my recommendation. If you want to plan it, try the Gronze.com or Eroski consumer site.

Ultreya,
