Hi!

My email to the A Portela albergue was returned and my sms did not get an answer.
Can somebody tell me please whether the albergue is open? Gronze says it is.
 
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.

Gronze is very reliable, but I did a quick search and found their facebook page. As you can see, they say they are open.

They also indicate on that page that they use WhatsApp. In my experience, email is generally a much less effective way of communicating with all sorts of businesses in Spain and Portugal than WhatsApp. Just WhatsApp them directly and I bet you will hear back quickly.

Gracias! Normally, I am more than happy to go through life without FB or WA, but this time my wife was happy to show that sometimes FB is actually good to have ;) Ok, I left A Portela a message there.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
