Hello pilgrims!

We are hiking on the coastal route of camino Portuguese just along the beach.

It is a beautiful route. We are now jn povoa de margim.

However, we can't find any spare rooms available for our next stops.

We don't know what to do. Please help.

:) gracias

Hi, have you tried phoning Hotel Mira Rio in Esposende? Rua da Ponte D. Luis Filipe 113, Phone: +351 253 964 430. They are showing full on booking.com for tonight, but they may still have a room available. The manager there speaks English. Otherwise, there are other more expensive hotels still available on booking.com near Esposende. When I have walked into an expensive hotel in Portugal, off the street, as an obvious pilgrim to Santiago, they have given me a reduced rate. You could try that! The Portuguese are usually so friendly and helpful, and will go out of their way to assist, maybe by calling around other places that they know of. Good luck. Jill
 
I recently stayed at the Suave Mar in Esposende. It was a very nice hotel. It might be a bit pricey - I do not specifically recall, but there were other pilgrims staying there as well. Phone +351 253 969 400.

In Viana do Castelo we stayed at Pension O Laranjeira. It was good as well. Phone +351 258 822 258.

Good luck!

If there is a tourist office of any kind along the way, they are usually a very good resource for accommodation. Found great hostels a couple of times in this way, along this route last summer.

Hi Angelina, so how’s it going with finding accommodation? Have you any feedback for other pilgrims currently walking a few days behind you?

Dear all,

Thank you for your messages.

It was my friend's first camino so she was a bit reluctant to stay in a albergue.

However, after two hours on booking.com and the fact that the hotels were ridiculously overprised, she decided to give albergues a try.

We enjoyed every minute of it. The albergues we visited were the following :

Casa de sardao in carreco. One beautiful boutique albergue with duvets and pillows and great atmosphere. I definitely recommend it.

Albergue de peregrinos in a guarda. Nice municipal albergue.

Albergue in mougas. Nice one with restaurant next to it.

Casa pazo pias in ramalosa. Very nice and big albergue with nice garden.

I will come back with more information.

Hola

I'm glad you found beds in the Albergues. I'm just back from surveying the route for a new CSJ guide and there were many other pilgrims around.
Booking.com is very useful but hotels and hostels rarely put all of their available accommodation on the site - if it is shown as full on booking.com you should always telephone.
However it is still early in the year and I think this route will only become more popular.

Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
