QuitoKid,
As my wife is the one who put this together, I will consult with her to see if we can concoct an answer to your query! I took a quick look on Google Maps, and found Complejo O Pineiral, as you said, 3.6 km from A Fonsagrada. I also found a handful of other O Pineiral sites in Spain...
Bruce,
This was our plan for a journey we were not able to take last year. We hope to walk the camino this coming fall. On our itinerary were a mixture of albergues (pilgrim hostels), hotels, and a few AirBnB stays. The guides Gronze.com, Godesalco.com, and the Buen Camino app each can help you...

Thank you, Alex! I loved the fine photos, and the evident beauty along the route. Also, it was nice that the first (#1) and the last (#108) photos are of your backpack with the picture of your late husky Ölina, to whom you dedicated your Camino. I'm glad that you and the Cathedral of Santiago...
@Arctic_Alex - I'm hoping you will post another update soon! Day 1 and Day 2 were terrific - very crisp photography.
By now you are on day, what, 18? How far along? A future Primitivo peregrino would like to know how it is going for you. Have you made friends along the way? Seen remarkable...
The bar in La Espina - the food was 'way too much' - in quantity, I presume? Or in price? I'll see if I can check out that bar when we get around to our camino.
