David,
Congratulations on your pending arrival!
Here are some of my favorites for your Finisterre walk; most are in simple albergues.
Negreira,
municipal albergue de Negreira. Basic and clean with kitchen, two dorms and 20 real beds not bunks. Nearby in Negreira the
Cafe Bar Imperial has a VERY good and copious menu del dia. The friendly barman/owner is English and his wife Spanish. At lunch I am often the only other woman in the place, but they graciously make me feel at home.
Vilaserio,
albergue-O-Rueiro. Very comfortable with many blankets, but no heat in late autumn/winter! It is run by the only bar in the tiny town. It is much more comfortable than the old school near-by used as emergency facilities!
Santa Mariña (Maroñas-Mazaricos),
albergue Casa Pepa. New, private and very pleasant with great HEAT last December and very slick showers. They serve meals as well.
Olveiroa,
albergue de Santiago. I love it here. This municipal albergue is a very successful renovation of stone farm buildings. Nearby is a great casa rurale ,
Aspias. Their cozy bar and restaurant are open to all and they also have private rooms available.
After Olveiroa walking across the hills near Cee you can at last glimpse the sea!! Near-by is the basic, but very welcoming albergue at
San Roque/Corcubion. After their donativo dinner in the dark from the dorm window when you see the lighthouse beacon at Finisterre shining out to sea it is magical.
Carpe Diem,
Margaret Meredith
