Facilities in albergues

[Roberto Mitelpunkt]

hello dear friends
This time Camino Portugues is my choice
I have a very light sleeping so I prefer no to use large dormitories.
Will I find private rooms in albergues or hostales/pensiones in the Coastal?
It will be at the beginning of May 2018
Thanks for your information,
Roberto, the Jewish pilgrim.

I walked the Coastal in June from Porto to Pontevedra. BTW I snore. I found most place fairly empty and never heard any complaints. There are plenty of private places and inexpensive hotels, so no worry. I spent one night in a crowded public in Caminha because the ferry was not running for 2 days (believe it or not a beer fest that weekend) and was totally harassed in the morning for my snoring by some total a..h.... My response was next time you "find a room."

I'm with you there. I can't imagine anyone harassing another person for snoring. Sounds like someone needs to get a life.

@biarritzdon I woke myself up because I was snoring so loud, but I could not go back to sleep because of your snoring

Take a look in the resources section of the forum. There's a file called Sleeping on the Portugese.
From memory, none of the albergue we stayed in between Porto and Camina had private rooms. There's plenty of other options and a couple of private Albergue's that do I think.

We used Ohropax soft foam ear plugs, brilliant can't hear a thing while you sleep.

Buen Camino

In Esposende there is a private albergue with a private room, the Hostel Eleven in the center of town. Here is my day ending here: https://www.pilgrimagetraveler.com/day-sixteen-camino-portugues.html
There are lots and lots of inexpensive places that are not albergues that will have rooms, of course. Buen Camino!

Haven't done the Portuguese. I discovered on Frances a few Albergues that had single rooms for 'sick' pilgrims. Hope it works out for you. I now it's 10 days past, but hope you had a blessed Hanukkah season....
