Another vote for Casa da Fernanda!
Some people here in the forum think it is over the top (and yup, it can be a quite full on experience), but she is amazing

My daughter and I will be walking the Portuguese in mid July and would like to stay at casa fernanda on July 20. I have her phone number but am in the US and would like to contact her by using either Skype or WhatsApp but haven't been able to figure out how since she would have to be in my contacts or I would have to invite her using another app such as Facebook. Can you help me with this? Thank you!LynneR said:

Go there and find it out your self.
It is not an albergue but it is a family who opens their home for pilgrims.
They take care for your lunch if you are in time, your diner and your breakfast. All donativo. " Mother" Fernanda deserves a place in heaven .
Since many years I'll be there very year. Sometimes twice, sometimes as hospitaleiro to give a hand with cleaning up, preparing the meal etc. lovely people
Can't wait to be there again, beginning of april coming.

De acuerdo - everything I read about Redondela made me want to do the extra km to get past it, and this place was lovely!Valença do Minho to Santiago
O refúxio de la Jérezana in Cessantes ( 3 kms beyond Redondela)
Forget the smelly and noisy municipal in Redondela and walk another 3 kms to this gem !
Starting on the Central route from Porto,nearby the airport the monastério de Vairão Nice albergue in a former monastery
My personal favorites:At least from Valenca/ Tui to Santiago, and for Porto? Or if you done all route, from Porto to Santiago, please

"Santa Casa da misericordia" ist just the portuguese word for "house of mercy" and usually the name of an old peoples home or a shelter where they care for disabled people. Every bigger town has one.Santa Casa Da Misericordia, day two out of Lisbon. Very basic church hostel but clean and welcoming. Caretaker, a very pious and humble gentleman was a delight to talk with and he presented me with my shell! Priceless.
I accidently ended up at Camping Orbitur when I missed a turn. A fellow at a market noticed my distress and called Camping Orbitur to see if they had room for me. I had a nice little cabin.My personal favorites:
Porto-Bluesock Hostel
Matosinhos-Fistail Hostel
Angeiras-Camping Orbitur
Carreço-Casa do Sardáo
Tui-Santo Domingo
Armenteira-Residence Bianca &Jorge
Vilanova de Arousa-A Salazon albergue
SdC-San Martín Pinario
De acuerdo! Another community meal possibility along the Português is Refuxio de la Jerezana in Cesantes. But nothing holds a candle to Casa da Fernanda!Fernanda is why I travel the world. One of the best people you’ll ever meet.
We were lucky to get to stay there.
The albergues with community meals, which were easier to find on the Frances, are what the Camino is all about for me.
Could you please let us know how to make a reservation there? Thank you kindly!That is a problem ! She has no whatsapp and often cannot answer the phone .
