Yes, if you have booked into Meson Novo then Don Antonio will come and collect you when you call. The mobile signal seems to be good from just outside Casa Julia.Hi Tia Valeria,
Yes, I'm aware of Julia's bar.. I believe I have to call someone to transport me to Meson Novo - Meson do Vento. I have read the CSJ's guide by Johnnie Walker sometime back. I'll revisit it later to see if there's an update.
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm scouting on the places to stay along Camino Ingles. My initial plan was to stay Betanzos > Julia's Bar > Hospital de Bruma. Browsing on www.gronze.com site, i saw that Presedo sits between Betanzos and Hospital de Bruma. Now, I'm thinking of staying at Presedo. Has anyone stayed at albergues in Presedo? I saw it's a newly opened albergues.
Thanks!! Buen Camino
I think so. Saw it in several places in alberguesThanks Cah1. It's good to know that someone have stayed in this alberque.
General question, in places where there's a small kitchen, are you even allowed to cook?

I agree with you Mendi about the guide book. The entire route is very well waymarked.just a matter of following the yellow arrows.@krazeekuban
No need for a guide book on the Camino Ingles.
All you have to do is get to the tourist office down at the port and cross the street over to the place where the Camino begins ( can´t miss it) and then just follow the yellow arrows all the way to Santiago.
Ondo Ibili !
Meson Novo is great accommodation. Spacious, en suite rooms.I have nothing but the best memories of staying at the Meson Novo. Arn
If the tourist office is closed they probably can supply a stamp (ask for "un sello) at the café restaurant next to the monument where you start from at the harbourThe guide not only allows next day planning it also has the cafes and accomodation details and other useful information. If an arrow has disappeared etc then the guide is invaluable. We would not go without it.
The tourist office was not open on Saturdays when we were there, but stamped our credenciales on Friday late afternoon and put the next days date on for us. If we had not done that we would have missed out on that particular sello. We also had one from our hostal.
And Stephen.. Kind people. Ask the parents of the owner to prepare a portion of pimientos de Padron. Grilled peppers with salt and olive oil. A traditional dish in Galicia.Meson Novo is great accommodation. Spacious, en suite rooms.
Just a tip ...pay as you go, don't run up a tab.
Buen camino!
I agree that running up a tab...is a bad thing. Then again, running up to the Bar...is perfectly good!Meson Novo is great accommodation. Spacious, en suite rooms.

Buen camino!
Well, we can only speak as we find, dear friend.And Stephen.. Kind people. Ask the parents of the owner to prepare a portion of pimientos de Padron. Grilled peppers with salt and olive oil. A traditional dish in Galicia.
So we have different experiences. I phoned him the day before arriving at bar Julia and next dat arriving there gave him another phonecall and within 25 minutes he was there to pick us up.Well, we can only speak as we find, dear friend.
I 'phoned in the morning asking about the possibility of an afternoon lift from Bar Julia, and they were very off-hand and said they could promise nothing.
I ran up a bill, as did a friend of mine - who stayed just one night.
She was a little surprised to find after the one night the bill totalled €45.
I stayed two nights and my bill came to .... €90.
The father was unable to accept a credit card "unless my son is here...." so I had to pay cash.
I can only suggest one pays cash, not running up a tab. Yes, they were friendly, and the rooms excellent.
Buen camino, amigo!
I'm in Ferrol Sunday around noon so I have most of the afternoon to see the city. Any suggestion on what to see in Ferrol too?
