O Lagar de Jesus

[grdemedeiros]

Hello, I saw O Lagar de Jesus mentioned in a couple of threads. Looking for input about this place. It caught my eye because of the communal dinner and proximity to Padron. Some questions:

1) Seems doable to get there in one day from Vilanova de Arousa, if you've caught a morning boat. About how many Kilometers from Pontecesuras?

2) Do they have private rooms this year? The website says "coming soon" but I couldn't quite tell a) if soon's arrived and b) how many people it's for (seems like 4, but wondering if there's a room for 2).

3) If you stayed there, did you walk the next day all the way to SdC? About how many Kilometers?

4) I read that the hospitality is great! Would love more folks' impressions.

For reference, we're walking from Porto (Coastal, Central, Spiritual).

Please and thank you for sharing!

Hello, stayed at O Lagar about one month ago and really recommend it. Short walk from the boat, about 5 km i think and that leaves about 21 to santiago the next day. Its a lovely big house with courtyard, bar and a huge garden with a pool . We had a really nice afternoon in the sun with other pilgrims and then a nice communal dinner. The new owners were so lovely and friendly and the dorms were so spacious. Cant answer about private rooms but i would say to book as Anna the owner said they already had tons of bookings for the season.
Its lovely, enjoy !

Hi Gretchen
I stayed there last night and really enjoyed it.
1- It was only about ten km from where the boat lets you you off. You could enjoy a leisurely breakfast in Padron and meander your way. We ended up having to hang out for a couple of hours before it opened, but it was pleasant weather with a nice yard. Bring a snack and something to drink.
2- they have at least one private room.
3- it’s about 20 km to Santiago. We took a leisurely pace and made it to Santiago by one p.m. It’s a bit hilly, but the kilometers flew by.
4-the hospitality was great and the fellowship with other pilgrims put it over the top. A great last night before Santiago. Highly recommend. PS they have a swimming pool quite a few of the young women were enjoying. We stuck our feet in and enjoyed getting to know the folks hanging out.
Good luck!

I did exactly what you have in mind. I was on an early boat from Villanova. It's a short walk to Padron where I had breakfast and spent most of the morning exploring. It's an easy walk to O Lagar de Jesus and I was there before checkin time. It is an excellent place to be for your last night on the Camino. I loved it! I don't know about single rooms but the shared rooms are very spacious and the communal dinner was lots of fun.

I left early the next morning. It's about 19k so very doable and I arrived in SDC around 11am.

I hope this helps!

We stayed here last June - agree with all of the above we were on a midday boat, lunched in Padron and visited the cathedral then 5k walk to the albergue. Spacious dorms, ensuite type bathrooms - shower, basin and toilet. Great communal dinner. 20k into Santiago next day.

We just booked for tomorrow night (12 July). Thanks again for all your thoughts. It'll be our last day of our trek, feeling nostalgic already.

I'm envious! I'm sure you had an awesome Camino experience.
