This is great news. Thank you for the update. Are there new contact details you’re able to share? The old WhatsApp contact suggests contacting the town hall, which seems inaccurate.
Update: I’ve just noticed your attachment!
Hello all!
Quick update and question.
My partner and I booked a private room in the above Albergue and recently received an email cancelling the reservation and advising us to contact the local government for more information or to complain, with the strong indication there has been a...
Thank you so much for all the information! We’ve stayed in Baiona before, so hoped to try somewhere different. Oia doesn’t seem to have much accomodation, much if not all of it is within the neighbouring towns. Am I missing something?
Hello everyone!
My partner and I will be attempting the Camino Portuguese coastal, littoral route, in June/July.
I was wondering if any of you could recommend an alternative town to sleep to Mougas, which looks to be a sleepy fishing village without many services, and Vigo, where we have...

Thanks so much for this! Please report back on getting your bus back to Santiago. My partner and I also booked tickets ahead, but we don’t seem to have a seat allocation so it isn’t clear if we are assured a place on the bus!
