Live from the Camino Portugues

Ola to those who will soon walk the Camino Portugues. Accommodations on the Camino Portugues are often full, but I wanted folks to know there’s a beautiful new alberque in Pedra Furada before Barcelos. It is right on the Camino, but at the moment it is not signed well. It’s a large white/gray modern looking building on the right side of the road as you walk into town. There are bunk beds both downstairs and upstairs, great showers, and a washer and dryer. They are going to put in a kitchen soon. Currently, they’re taking donations as they figure out everything. It opened April 10, 2022. So far this afternoon, only my sister and I are here although many pilgrims have passed. I’m not sure they recognize it’s an alberque.

Oops, I meant to post a picture of the alberque, but ended up posting a picture of my sister. My finger on a phone has a mind of its own . I’ll try again.
