Gronze.com was pretty up-to-date when I walked the CP in May this year. As to the numbers, your informant seems to have been engaging in a little hyperbole or relying on old information.I'm sure that those who walked recently will answer from their own experience. In the meantime you might find that Gronze gives a fairly accurate picture of what is available. A very comprehensive site which is frequently updated: https://www.gronze.com/camino-portugues
With Gonzo I only have the issue of language... Is it just me or is there only a Spanish version?I'm sure that those who walked recently will answer from their own experience.

Only Spanish. But if you use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers - laptop or phone - they will do a decent job of translating the site.With Gonzo I only have the issue of language... Is it just me or is there only a Spanish version?

It can be quite funny though. There's a town on the Via de la Plata called Carcaboso. If you don't turn it off Google Translate changes it to "Ghoulish". Sounds much more interesting than it really isYou don’t want to have the English translation of “Casa da Raina” for instance. Looking for “House of the Queen” in Azambuja is likely to be a difficult task.
And on the Francés the town of Ventosa is translated to "sucker."It can be quite funny though. There's a town on the Via de la Plata called Carcaboso. If you don't turn it off Google Translate changes it to "Ghoulish". Sounds much more interesting than it really is
I have just finished and am in Santiago. No problem with any restrictions on albergues. I did notice howeverthat some close at the end of October for the winter but not because of covid.Buenos Días Pelegrinos,
I am currently planning to hit the Camino Portuguesa in 2 weeks.
Shortly I received a message from someone who said that most of the albergues on the Portuguese are closed during COVID and aren't open again. Is that true?
On my second Camino del Norte I figured out some issues with closed albergues due to the Autumn time(it was November as well)
Anybody here who just walked on the Portuguese way with some feedback?
Would be great!
Buen Camino
Björn

Would you mind clarifying what xD means to you in this context?Not sure if I got everything now xD
Oh, sorry for that!Would you mind clarifying what xD means to you in this context?
Thank you. That makes more sense than Christmas Day, the model designation of an Australian Ford Falcon or a Springfield armoury handgun. It still seems rather extreme, but I will be the first to admit to not being well versed in the nuances of texting abbreviations.Oh, sorry for that!
"xD" is an expression used in text messages or e-mails signaling happiness or laughter. XD is an emoticon. X represents closed eyes while D stands for an open mouth.
Hi, I have just finished the Portuguese from Lisbon and albergues were open. Lot of people walking and from Porto would pay to book ahead.Buenos Días Pelegrinos,

A well-deserved day off, might I add! If you contact him (I did via WhatsApp, if I recall correctly) he will likely refer you to another nearby location.Valada (Dos Caminhos) is open, but the owner sometimes takes a day off.
