In december 2015 during our stay in Portugal we visited Quinta da Portela in Facha -between Barcelos and Ponte de Lima.

Owner Han Geelen, a Dutch guy , has a beautiful house and offers bed and breakfast and lodging for pilgrims on their way to or from Santiago.
The quinta is on the caminho path.
Have a look at his facebook page facebook.com/quinta.facha

Han is a nice guy ! We visited him together with Fernanda We drank a portwine together and met him the day after at Fernanda's home were we stayed.
If Fernanda is fully booked she phones Han for you if desired,.
There is a collegual cooperation between the different albergues, hostals quintas etc anyway for sure on the stages between Pedra Furada and Valença do Minho I remarked.

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
I (in fact we) stayed at Han's place last month. It was the best accommodation I had over the whole road from Porto to Santiago! And, given that we had two meals included, the price was fair. Han is a nice guy, very proud of his house (and he should be!), good cook, good guest, and the place is amazing!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
