Plata route: Albergue or hostal near Santiago

[Chriswalker]

Hoping to find affordable accommodation about 5 or 10 km from Santiago on the Plata route, in order to reach Santiago well before noon. Thank you for any suggestions!

New albergue called Reina Lupa 12km from Santiago. Excellent value. Boquexión (Deseiro/Sergude) - Albergue Reina Lupa. New albergue opened recently in late April 2018 and situated 150 metres from the main road. Has 18 beds. Cost 14 euros for bed in dormitory. Breakfast not included in the price. However, blankets, sheets and towel are provided along with hot showers. Double rooms are also available for 20 euros per person. WiFi is available in all areas. For all meals including breakfast Café bar Rosande is situated 5 metres walking distance from the albergue.

I stayed at the last municipal albergue before Salamanca. I can't recollect the name but lovely, usual 6 euro. About 18 km from Santiago. Its very easy walking. We set off a little earlier than usual, great to see the dawn on the last day. In Santiago by 10:30. Worth considering?

I don’t understand the relationship between Salamanca, Santiago - and 18km. @NomadBoomer or is the comment about Salamanca simply that you only stayed in private albergues (or other non municipal) accommodation after? Sorry, just confused!

Typo . I meant to say I stayed at the last municipal before Santiago.

Outeiro, 16,5 km from Santiago, big modern albergue. Bring food from Ponte Ulla.

I stayed at Reina Lupa. It was fantastic. A brand new albergue and I was the only person there! Then a lovely short stroll into Santiago de Compostela.

Yes a good idea. A group of pilgrims who arrived without food got pizzas delivered tho.

Reina Lupa is 12 kilometres from the Cathedral in Santiago. It has a great bar/restaurant next door. Location is just off the camino, on the N525 - Concello de Boqueixón.
