Castro Dozon closed

With the municipal albergue at Castro Dozon now closed can anyone help me plan to move from Cea. If I go to Oseira it is only 8 kilometers but to go to Alaxe it becomes 33kilometers from Cea. Does anybody have ideas on accommodation after Cea?

I went from Ourense to Oseria then to A Laxe. Two fairly long days of 32 and 30 kilometres, but doable. If you are already in Cea then I reckon your only option is from there to A Laxe, a 34 k day but slightly shorter than the route through Oseria if you are not stopping there.
 
Or you could do the short day to Oseira and spend the day looking round the monastery - take up sketching for the day if you don't already and draw it from every angle! It's a lovely place.

According to Gronze it is still open. There are reviews from the comments section from last month. Maybe it has closed since than I do not know. If it is I would take the 34B stage that is shown in gronze and carry on to the hostel in Botas as @Kiwi-family suggested.

I stayed at Ourense, Cea, Oseira, Estacion de Lalin, Sallida and tonight I am staying at Ponte Ulla and will walk into SDC tomorrow. I wasn't going to attempt 30 km stages. Even some I did were pretty demanding when the total ascent and descent is considered.

Edit: Botos and Estacion de Lalin are the same location so far as I can tell.

We just completed the following out of Ourense. The only comment is the albergue in Outeiro is not close to any bar/cafe and the kitchen is not yet equipped with kitchenware.

Estación de Lalín and Botus (Gronze) are the same.

It is unlikely that kitchenware will be provided in the near future. A policy decision by the Xunta not to supply any in their albergues although a few places do have some limited equipment.

I just came through there early this month. The Albergue is closed but the guy that runs the bar is also the taxi driver. He took us to Taberna do Vento in Botos. You can then taxi back to cover those missed K’s. Last year he took a friend of mine from there to Silleda.
 
it has been closed since the covid pandemic. I passed in February and it was still closed Try to do Ourense - Cea - Lalin (a Laxe) - Outeiro - Santigo.
