New public albergue opens in Castroverde (Sept 17th 2012)

Great news, Ivar. In June, I stayed in a very nice pension in Castroverde and learned that the albergue building was ready to go but there was no money for furniture. Looks like the Xunta found some.

Castroverde is a good place to stop if you want a short day into Lugo the next day. If you're not planning to spend a rest day in Lugo, arriving in late morning gives you time to see the town, which is very nice, Roman walls and all!

Either way, you will have a long day to deal with. Fonsagrada/Padron (the only realistic stop the day before) is 27 from Cadavo and 35 from Castroverde. That means that your day into Lugo can be either 32 from Cadavo or 24 from Castroverde.

I read on a post recently that our very own falcon will soon be on the Primitivo, maybe he'll give us some first hand info on this albergue.
