Must see & Avoid places

[DavidM]

My best friend and I will be walking the Camino Portugues Coastal Route starting in Porto in a few weeks. Are there any Albergues or other lodging places we should avoid and any that are considered an absolute must?

Yes the municipal in Redondela. Busy, smelly noisy albergue
Walk 3 kms further to Cessantes. There you find the Refúxio de la Jérezana . Much better .

Our friends walked the route in August and said that the Orbitur campsites (which have bungalows) were amazing. I've never stayed in one but they sounded like they were worth checking out. https://orbitur.com/en

Enjoy all the planning and Buen Camino!

I only had trouble with an albergue being closed on Saturday but not announced on the internet and then running to the next one, arriving 15min before closing. It's not on the coastal route, but I would double-check saturday/sunday working hours.
