Thank you everyone! I decided to go with Auberge Borda. There just seemed too much uncertainty with Orisson - a convoluted booking process, temperamental host, morning coffee running out early, and the possibility of being bumped to their satellite location. It's a shame as I kinda wanted...
I begin the Camino Frances from SJPdP on my birthday in mid-late May. Taking it relatively easy on the first day, so will stay at one of these two accommodations that night.
Auberge Borda seems to be of higher quality in terms of beds, facilities and food. However, Refuge Orisson seems to be a...
¡Hola peregrinos! I'll probably walk the Camino Inglés in late Augist. Afterward, I am thinking of camping for a few days in the Cíes Islands and will need a tent and ideally a sleeping mat. Wondering if there is somewhere in Santiago de Compostela offering free/cheap camping gear? Just need...

Great info I'm now wondering if I should begin in Porrino or even Redondela instead of Tui? Are those 17/33 km "worth it" in terms of beauty and interest? My itinerary doesn't have much slack (I leave Santiago de Compostela early the next morning, having arrived the previous afternoon), so...
Next week I travel to Valença/Tui, the starting point of my first Camino. Suggestions are much appreciated! Especially – itinerary advice and minor diversions to consider, best mid-way spots to lunch and rest, and hostels offering communal dinners (I'm a solo traveler). Thank you!
