This is one of my top camino wish list items! Last year the albergue in Herbón was only open from April 1 onward. I know that has been true in other years as well, so it’s likely to be the same this year. But it would be worth trying to get 2023-specific info. I saw this phone number on the AGACS website. 881098102We’re also going to try to stay with the Franciscans in Herbon (outside Padron).
Can I get camino credencial passport somewhere in Valenca?I did the same route last July, I am sure you will enjoy it immensely.
I recommend staying at the Mosteiro de Santa María da Armenteira.
Don't forget to have your credencial stamped in Valença before crossing the bridge.
Wishing you a great camino, I start from there next week.We’re on our way to Valença, Portugal to begin a short Camino (including Spiritual Variant) tomorrow for school holiday. It’s my daughter’s first Camino experience!
Probably at the albergue in ValençaCan I get camino credencial passport somewhere in Valenca?
Is the new bus station near the old one? Also appreciate if you could let me know did you get your credentials in Santiago?Thanks. We’re waiting at the new (since I was last here in 2022) bus station in Santiago for the bus. It’s a really nice bus station and improvement over the old one.
I hiked the Portugues from Porto in 2019, and I enjoyed the evening prayers at the monastery. We’re also going to try to stay with the Franciscans in Herbon (outside Padron). I’ll try to keep this thread updated over the next week.View attachment 143195

Thanks for the info. I stayed here in October 2019 - will post here once I know about whether or not it is open this week.This is one of my top camino wish list items!

Good luck and buen camino!
Ok that was a lovely encounter!We got “shelled” today - in a good way. One of the coolest thing on any of my Camino journeys. On the way to Redondela, a man who drove by us, stopped his car, got out, and asked if he could give us something. He unwrapped his paper towel packages and gave each of us a scallop shell as he wished us “a good way”
There was definitely something special about that bridge! I have always remembered it.DanOnTheCamino,
You and your daughter must be very excited today! Your's is a lovely route. December 2011 I walked alone from Santiago to Tui/Valenca backwards down that camino. Walking through the old fortress at Valença and crossing the famous international bridge were very special.
Stay safe and Buen camino to both of you!
For sure a great experience! Will walk the CP (da costa), starting somewhere close to the Spanish border, with my 15 y/o son - starting on April, 13th. It will be also his first camino!We’re on our way to Valença, Portugal to begin a short Camino (including Spiritual Variant) tomorrow for school holiday. It’s my daughter’s first Camino experience!
We tried phoning the past two days, yet had no answer. So we decided to walk by this morning after the boat ride from V.de Arousa and take a chance. They are still closed. Here’s a photo of the sign on the door.This is one of my top camino wish list items! Last year the albergue in Herbón was only open from April 1 onward.
