New albergue to open in Milladoiro

[Bradypus]

According to La Voz de Galicia a new albergue will be opening in Milladoiro during Holy Week. A useful stopping point on the Camino Portugues about 8km from the cathedral in Santiago.

Any update on if this place has opened yet?

I think it is - looks like their wordpress site is just starting up now - http://alberguemilladoiro.com/

And they're active on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Albergue-Milladoiro-1871571846435450/

It is open - but .5 kms later you can see the spires of the Cathedral. I hope they have made a wise decision!

I'm not sure what you mean... isn't Santiago still another 7-8km from Milladoiro? My group is feeling quite weary and not keen on walking the full 25km from Padrón tomorrow.

I think he means that half a kilometer further on from Milladoiro, you can se the spires (but still have some way to go)

I just checked on Google - it looks like there's about 5-6 km from Milladoiro:

Hi

a few days ago I slept there. Clean, tidy, spacious. Great location, about 7 km to the cathedral.
In the morning nobody gets up at five o'clock , have breakfast in peace, get ready without hurries.
And on a gentle stroll we arrive at the cathedral on time at pilgrimage mass at noon.

Extraordinarily

Agreed, a good location as far as I'm concerned. No need to arrive in Santiago beaten up.
