    Albergue San Ero in Armenteira reopening

    This is great news. Thank you for the update. Are there new contact details you’re able to share? The old WhatsApp contact suggests contacting the town hall, which seems inaccurate. Update: I’ve just noticed your attachment!

    Alternative towns to Mougas and Vigo

    Thank you so much for all the information! We’ve stayed in Baiona before, so hoped to try somewhere different. Oia doesn’t seem to have much accomodation, much if not all of it is within the neighbouring towns. Am I missing something?

    I've walked the Camino in barefoot shoes

    Thanks for the super post. Very interesting! I recently switched to bf shoes and wear them casually as I would other shoes and to the gym.
