Due to some challenges booking a bed, I’m stuck spending the night in Salceda and O Pedroozo, which are only 8km apart. This is between Sarria and Santiago.
Question for anyone that might have stayed in either place - is there anything at all to do in either place? Or are they typical little villages with one or two bars and little else?
It’s a bit frustrating having such a short walking day, but it is what it is.
Thanks!
P.S. I’ll be sharing the good the bad and the ugly of my Camino when I’m back home. I’ve learned a few lessons along the way, as you might expect…
It’s less than 30km from Salceda to Santiago. Why not just walk through? Even on a late arrival into Santiago you’ll find a bedDue to some challenges booking a bed, I’m stuck spending the night in Salceda and O Pedroozo, which are only 8km apart. This is between Sarria and Santiago.

Thanks everyone, sounds like O Pedrouzo is the better option to pass the time rather than Salceda. Yes I could just walk all the way to Santiago, without stopping in O Pedrouzo, but there’s a festival happening in Santiago this weekend, and not only are available places hard to find, they are really expensive. I booked a private room in a hostel there for two nights, and it’s costing 95 euro per night. Most places were much more expensive. Airbnb’s were also much more than 95 euro per night. And yes I’m aware I could find a dorm room cheaper, but I’m spending two nights there at the end of my walk and I want a private room. Walking straight there without spending the night in O Pedrouzo would mean 3 nights in Santiago. Don’t want to spend that much.
Thanks again for the help, and thanks for the mention of the Mexican restaurant. That’ll be a nice change from 35 days of Spanish food.
Wow thanks for sharing! I won’t be there until June 24 (Saturday). Would be great if the celebrations - the bonfires - are happening that night as well.The festival is the one for San Juan.

Sadly. mid afternoon on our first day in SdC, we had a really nice chat with a super lovely lady who was camping for the night because they could not find a room or a bunk….It’s less than 30km from Salceda to Santiago.

Yep!This is their new location. They used to have the place with all of the beer bottles that people wrote their names on and then stuck them all over the terrace.
Looks like they started this tradition again along the fence.
