Alternatively, if you have any good recommendations for ultra effective ear plugs, please let me know! If they really can block out the thundery snoring, this would open up a lot of accommodation options for me...
Hi - I have been looking at accommodation options at O Porriño and there don't seem to be many choices. I generally prefer to have my own room if at all possible because I can't sleep through loud snoring, even with ear plugs. I have seen good reviews of Hotel Azul but it hasn't responded to my emails and has not answered the phone. Are hotels in that area closed at this time of year?

Hi, I use the soft silicon waterproof ear plugs popular with swimmers.

I break a piece off, roll it into a thin sausage, point it into my ear, then press it all in nice and snug. Never hear a thing all night, and my i-pad I mean my eye-padcovers my eyes blocking out the emergency lights, which are often quite bright.
Porrino albergue should be no problem for you thus armed. (But they don’t have blankets, so be sure to have appropriate sleeping bag or fleece.)

Hi rgutena,
I stayed at the Hotel Azul with another peregrina and can recommend it, the breakfast was very good. The woman behind the desk was especially helpful when I discovered I had left behind my town (non-walking) shoes at the last place I stayed. The contact details on the hotel's sello in my passport are email: hrazul@terra.com and the telephone: 0034 986 330 032. I don't know which code you will need for your country.
Hope you are able to arrange a booking. Bom caminho!

When stoping at the municipal albergue which has 50 spaces in O Porrino on the Avenida de Buenos Aires I ate a very tasty menu del dia at
Maracaibo Porriño, a small pension/restaurant at nearby Calle de Manuel Rodríguez, 50. The food, inexpensive price and welcome were great; I did not see their rooms. Their telephone is +34 986 33 09 01
By the way it can be a long slog from Tui to O Porrino through a hilly, dense wood and along much industrialization; have courage!
Last September, I stayed at the Pension Puente, about a km South of the town center on N-550. I didn't make reservations; just walked in. Private rooms with private baths. Basic but clean. Very quiet. Don't recall the rate but don't think it was anything out of the ordinary. The included breakfast is bare bones - pastry, coffee and juice. It is a km from the town center, which is very festive and has a slew of cafes, bars and restaurants. Puente has a bar/restaurant but there didn't seem to be much else around that looked appetizing. I elected to walk to the town center.

First time posting here but have been 'browsing' & soaking up all the great info & tips since last year when I was planning my first Camino. I am now planning my second for March with 4 friends (their first Camino) and I am having difficulty in contacting Hotel Azul in Porrino. I have emailed numerous times, the latest one in Spanish thanks to a fluent friend, but no joy. Email address I have been using is hotelazulporrino@gmail.com as per their website. can anybody shed any light? Or recommend somewhere as good?

There are many options in O Porrino. All I saw were very basic. You should not have a problem, just walking in. It is a VERY quiet town.Hi - I have been looking at accommodation options at O Porriño and there don't seem to be many choices.
