Albergue Xuvenil Area

[Raymond Aquilina]

I am planning my camino along the Ruta del Mar. I am finding it difficult to find accomodation near Esteiro. I noticed there is a Xunta hostel at Area.
Does anyone know if this is open. I know that Xuntas were closed but some reopened.
I appreciate any feedback.
Thank you and buen Camino,
Raymond,
Malta

Back when I was scouting, I saw that and was excited to discover it. The feedback I got at the time, though, was that it was more of a space for youth group and wasn't a place for pilgrims to spend the night. I don't know if there's a possibility of that shifting with the Mar's recognition, but I haven't heard of it taking place thus far. Hotel El Millón is probably your cheapest bet in the area.

I'll add--if you reach out to the Oli Vita Hostel in Viveiro, I bet they'd help you sort out transport to and back from Esteiro. They're huge Mar advocates.
