One Stop between Sarria and Arzua

[Ramasjang]

Hello

In trying to find a hotel or pension between Sarria and Arzua.

For October 30 some where around halfway.

It need to be pet friendly since we walk with our dog. (Small under 5kg)

Hope some one can help us.

All the best

Hello , if I'm correct this would cover around 75 kilometers? This would mean somewhere midway the etapa of Portomarin to Palas de Rei? Is this correct?

 

[Ramasjang]

Yes. That is correct.

I can recommend you Pension Vilarino in Palas de Rei. Friendly people, simple but clean rooms and lovely food!

Thank you how fare is it from Sarria?

Do you know if it is pet friendly?

Even with dogs everywhere, Spain accommodations are not pet friendly. You should check in advance with the particular lodging, or you might be turned away at the door. Almost no albergue will admit dogs, and restaurants often having signs prohibiting animals.

A surprising number of pilgrims walk with dogs and report that they find accommodation in hostels along the Camino Frances. It is always best to check in advance.

Kaybee rarely found that her dog was welcome:

She spent many nights outside in church doorways because of her dog. Her devotion is commendable, but expect massive inconvenience when traveling with a dog!

we busted to get to the cathedral for the 12 o clock pilgrims mass in santiago, as a suitable ending.... on arrival at the side entrance, right before 12, i marched right through the door with grainne, entered the cathedral, and plunked down my backpack, my stick next to me, and me, right inside the door on the top of the steps, with grainne curling up and sleeping in my lap. now i know well that in spain they think dogs are outside animals but darn it we just walked from pamplona, and i felt like we were ENTITLED to sit in the cathedral for an hour while they said mass (never mind that i didnt understand a word of it as it was in spanish, hahahaha), and i was NOT abandoning my dog to sit outside and bark and be miserable and possibly get stolen after she had just trudged 3 or 400 miles as well. as far as i was concerned, we both had as much or more right to be in that cathedral as anyone else. plus there was noone to stop us and no sign saying no dogs. i got a lot of looks from people as we sat there but i was partly amused, partly aware i was callign attention to myself and partly didnt care cuz we had just walked a billion miles and we were entitled to be there. she was silent and curled up in my lap. i was enjoying not having to be anywhere do anythign and jsut being able to sit there. maybe we shoudl have gone somewhere less obvious but i was afraid to go much further than jsut inside the door, i figured i was being as "respectful" of their rules as possible by staying just inside the door. anyway, my peace and quiet only lasted about 1o minutes until we got kicked out by a security guard.....to whom i insisted we had just walked from pamplona we required to go to mass etc etc et c in my awful spanish. he made us leave.

You may need good Spanish skills to negotiate with innkeepers. It is not that the Spanish dislike dogs, but health codes and cleanliness issues make them unwelcome most places. Your task could be to appeal to the dog lovers to make exceptions to the codes and rules.

Thanks for your replies.

We have been able to find accommodations for our dog all the way.

You are right it sometimes is a challenge to find a place where they accept dogs.
We have used a lot of time writing and calling Hostels in advanced.

My experience is that private Hostels are the most pet friendly. This means our budget is a bit higher than normal, we pay between 25 - 40 Euroes a night.

The nice thing is we get to sleep in when we want

Ya I don't think our Beau will attend mass!
- They would not give him a pilgrim pass in SJPdP.

But I don't think he will care much.
