Re: Accomodation Lugo to Melide
Hi, This is Ange. I have just got back from Spain after doing the Camino Primitivo during the peak period before the 25th July. The Albergues were pretty full but spaces were always found for everyone. I already wrote before I left that I would report on camping possiblities, which I will write about in another email. Down to the subject of accommodation between Lugo and Melide. We asked the hospitalero in Lugo who was very gruff - appeared to want to get the registration done as quickly as possible and told us to go to the Tourist Office. They produced a sheet of information for the emergency accommodation being opened up along the route right through to Santiago. The section between Lugo and Melide goes right past the signs for St Roman, but we carried on to find the School at Augus Santas. We nearly missed it because there are several little hamlets with different names all in the District of Augus Santas. The Camino goes past the Roman bridge and up the Roman track at Ferreira, and what stretches there are on the roads, are not clear. We were lucky to get the directions from a local who we met on the road, and had to walk back to the school. The Camino did not go past it, but came out further on towards Melide so we were lucky we asked. This had floor area to use with mats, two w.c.'s and one sink, no shower. No shops or bar, but was a roof over our heads for the night. Ange from Agen
