Hello Ioana
My camino last year started in Porto. We caught a train to Porto and stayed the first night at Albergue de Peregrinos do Porto. It was a very friendly welcoming Albergue and I'm sure you could stay there without having walked in. The hospitaleros were sooo helpful and organised...
I just went to book Hostal Suso but unfortunately it is booked out. I've stayed there twice before and just assumed it would be ready and eager to have me back. Highly recommended if it is available for you.

Thanks Joe and Elaine..... I have really enjoyed reading about your Camino and it is a very interesting website you are developing. And yes ...I absolutely do understand the need to go back to El Camino .... Just to recharge the batteries again.

I took a small pillow that weighs 120gram and on a few occasions was very glad of it. Will be taking it again in a couple of weeks. It is a small squarish pillow with the tiny styrene balls as filler.
