Beginning a reverse journey from Muxia - Sept. 2022

[CindyAmelia]

Hello. First time Camino walker

We will doing a reverse journey starting on the extension path -Muxia to Santiago de Compestella. We have 90% of the planning and accommodations complete. Need your help.

Our route is Muxia - Lires - Fisterra - Corcubion - Olveirao - Negreira - Santaigo de Compostela.

Question 1: We have yet to find sleeping accommodations in Olveirao. What recommendations do you have? Also, if we find a place off of the path, is it easy to get to and from via taxi?

Question 2: is there taxi or car service from La Coruna airport to Muxia or is the bus the only option?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, and welcome to the forum!

Sorry, but I can't answer your question from personal experience, since I haven't walked that route, but what sources or guides are you using? I see that gronze.com shows 6 accommodation options for Olveiroa. That site is in Spanish but it is very easy to figure out. Other apps are also available.

I would suggest that you walk a little farther to Lago(Mazaricos) and stay at Albergue Monte Aro. It's a newer place with its own restaurant/bar.

​

Location - Monte Aro

Our hostel is located in the town hall of Mazaricos, in the Lake Place, on the road to Finisterre, and located just 400mts from Mount Aro. Thanks to its

Wonderful. Thank you for your response. This is very helpful. We have been using, mostly, bookings.com and then tried to go directly to the websites of some of the places. We have not looked at gronze.com. This will be terrific. Thank you so much

Have a look at the site rome2rio for your transport. You will have to take 2 busses where your stopover will be Santiago de Compostela.
Good luck

we are going to be staying at Casa Loncho tomorrow in Olveirao, which was recommended to us so will let you know what it’s like.
Tonight we are in A Peña staying at Rectoral San Marmede de Pena Hostel and it’s lovely. They do a communal meal if you want but we nipped to the bar next door and had a lovely salad

Hello. Thank you for your response. I hope your journey has been great thus far.

I just received an email back from Casa Loncho. They do not have availability on the days we are going to be there. We're on to Plan B for accommodations. Another person on this thread recommended we walk a little farther and find accommodations in Lagos. Seems like there is availability there.

Hello and thank you for your response.

We have looked at rome2rio. Our current plan is the bus. Just wondering if we can get a taxi and/or car for hire to expedite the journey to Muxia.
