There is a very nice albergue in Piñera. Not to be overlooked. Very useful information provided for the various options to Ribadeo and on to Mondonedo. Also the pilgrims meal is certainly worth it. Maybe too short a stage from Luarca.

One of my favorites on the Norte. The hospitaleros are wonderful. I walked there from Villademoros, just after Cadavedo, which was 28.75 km.

Are they recruiting Hospitaleros for next year?

I believe that the hospitaleros are permanent paid staff. The same couple was there this year as last.

I give this place 2 thumbs up! When I was there it was late October with just 4 or 5 people. There was no pilgrim meal but a great snack when I got there and the Hospitalero was the nicest man.
