    Accommodation in Porto

    Could fellow pilgrims please advise me on albergues or affordable hostels in Porto, I need to book our (two senior ladies) first night. I have been looking on rome2rio (booking.com) but they do not offer albergue options, so I think my best route would be other pilgrims.
