Hi,

As i posted eariler, I'm taking a bus to Santiago due to my knees..

With my limited Spanish, I asked local people for the bus terminal location.

I think the correct location is Ambasmesta (Valcarce hotel), but people at the hotel is telling me that i should go to Ambasmestas. When I look up these two places on google maps, both of them pop up.

I'm a little bit confused because I can't simply ignore what local people say.

Could anyone please give me an advice?
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
The ALSA website shows: Carretera Nacional Vi, Km. 428 S/n , Ambasmesta
(Hostal Valcarcel )

The map pin is at the truck stop/hotel.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Hi,

The Alsa website shows the stop at Hotel Valcarce. It also refers to Ambasmestas and Ambasmesta in respect of the same stop. See today's remaining schedule and map below.
Note : There is a bus at 05:45 am as well if you are leaving on another day.
