A Armenteria

[emerl]

Hello,
I am thinking of doing this route tomorrow but there is only very expensive accommodation available in A Armenteria.
I know I can try the monastery but if they are full are there bus options in the area if I have to go to another town for accommodation?

 

[Antonius Vaessen]

Two years ago there was an albergue

There are accommodation providers nearby who will pick you up and drop you back off the next morning.

In case of.., you could take back the bus to Combarro where are some lodging places
Or take a taxi ( heading forward) to Barantes where we slept above a restaurant where the owner has some rooms for rent. ( EDIT) The name is os Castanhos as mentioned in a post below.
Because the boat from Vila Nova de Arousa went very early the next day , the lady owner took us by car to the boat. This was in 2015 when there only were 2 small boats for 6 persons each.

What about the municipal? We stayed there and it was very nice. They don’t take reservations and are about a 10 min walk from town. El albergue de peregrinos San Ero de A Armenteira

Contact Os Costanos in Barantes after the route of stones and water. Very comfortable, family run place to stay with excellent food. Directly on the Camino. Highly recommended.

We were able to reserve at the Armenteira Alberque last year.

Thank you but I don't have a sleeping bag. I asked an accommodation in a nearby town if they would collect me and they did. Thanks

Thanks for the tip. Am a little worried about getting stuck on top of the hill and too pooped to walk farther.

I wasn't aware of this. Last week got to Armenteira around 1pm to find both the Monastery and Albergue full. Lots of Pilgrims in and around the Cafe trying to find alternative arrangements. I decided after lunch to continue to Barantes to find Hotel Os Costanos full also. Kindly they found me an apartment for the night for the same price as a hotel room. They dropped me off and picked me up in the morning to return to the hotel for breakfast. Anyone contemplating walking the Spiritual l Variant I would highly recommend, the most enjoyable section of the Portuguese in my opinion.

I stayed at the albergue in Armenteira in 2019 at about the same time as you were there and had no problem getting a bed, nor did I notice throngs of people in the town and monastery, showing how busy the Portuguese is becoming. It seems to be following in the "footsteps" (pun) of the Frances.
