There are longish distances between Albergues on this route, Negreira to Olveiroa is 33kms. Also there are rocky and steep paths particularly after Olveiroa on the way to Cee.

The choice of footwear is of course yours, but I would always prefer to wear my boots.

12 km after Negreira are two albergues, one private and one municipal, in Vilaserio. The municipal ia very basic but the private is fine. Unheated in winter however.

Yes you are right, but 12kms is too short for a day's walk for me.

Of course 12 km is a short distance. However in bad storms I have stopped at Vilaserio gratefully! Another 2 private albergues between Negreira and Olveiroa are at Santa Marina which is roughly 20 km from Negreira.
