services on the Geira file

[caminka]

I have added the file with the services on the Geira caminho, you can find it here. it's comprised mostly from the info on google maps and on the forum, plus for the accommodation what I could find on the net as well. unfortunately, I often haven't managed to find info on the number of rooms or prices (especially for one person), so if anyone knows, please let me know or comment below. if you can, @David Tallan, please post the prices when you will be walking, that would be very helpful.

I will trust that @Charrito will make sure that all the bars, cafes and restaurants are accounted for .

if anyone has any reccommendations to add, please post them below.

enjoy!

Wow! That list looks awesome. Thanks for all your work putting this together. The Geira is percolating upwards on my bucket list.

I'll have a good look through all this later today!

Good Morning.

Thank you for producing an amazingly detailed resource here for anyone who’s considering walking this fantastic camino.

I’ve walked the complete route from Braga four times and another five t¡mes from Ribadavia, so please don’t imagine that I went into all these bars, cafés and restaurants during the same camino!

I’ve come across a few spelling mistakes, but I am not going to correct those.

Here are a few of my comments:

Braga:
Hotel Ibis Braga Centro, Rua do Carmo.

Restaurante A Tipica, Rua Dom Frei Caetano.

Letraria Braga (Craft Beer in a bookshop!), Rua Dom Gonçalo Pereira.

Fiscal:
Tasquinha de São Miguel.

Paranhos:
Café Maia (Mercearia) is on the corner of Lugar da Escola and the M353-3 road. It’s on the official Geira map, but not on Google Maps.

Before Terras de Bouro:
If you are staying here for the night you have Café Brito a couple of kilometres before the town, in Chorense.

Snack Bar Terra e Mar is on the road down to Terras de Bouro.

Covide:
There are a couple of Casas Rurales in the village. @Peacewalker stayed in one of them recently.

Os Baños:
Restaurante Rio Caldo closes down during the autumn and winter.

Castro Laboreiro:
A Serra is closed permanently.

Before San Amaro:
Just by the bus stop with the pilgrim dolls there is a summer-only bar, Asociación de Veciños de San Antonio.

San Amaro:
There is food available (tapas) in Café San Mauro.

San Roque de Crespos:
Bar Sara y Bar Plaza are not on Google Maps, but they definitely exist!

Cortegada:
Pensión Buena Vista, Avenida Reyes Católicos.

Bar Rivera do platos combinados as well as bocatas.

Ribadavia:
The apartment where Grace the Pilgrim stayed is in the same street as Taberna Papuxa.

Vivienda de Uso Turístico, Travesía Ribeiro. Sleeps 3 to 6 people. On booking.com.

Pazos de Arenteiro:
The walk to Pozo dos Fumes is complicated, after floods washed away a lot of the wooden walkway.

Beariz:
Bar Central is closed but they still have rooms in the annex.

Soutelo de Montes:
Bar O Lagar. Excellent hot tapas.

Café Bar Pastelería Ade Puri.

There are two places called Pan de Soutelo, directly opposite each other. Both are excellent.

A Mámoa:
If either Paco and Eva are at home (in the house right by the metallic Geira sculptures) they’ll offer you a cold or hot drink.

Pontevea:
The ‘Pensión’ Albeiteria is actually a flash spa hotel.

Before Montouto:
Café Bar O Viveiro da Póboa.

Thank you so much, @Charrito! I will get to these when I will be behind a computer.

If you see spelling mistakes, by all means, point them out, I don't see everything despite reading it several times. If it's easier, you can color them in the file and send me the file.

I enjoyed a very convivial meal in the bar there but would not really want to stay if I couldn't eat as well. The accommodation is (or was, in 2022) a little, shall we say, basic.

I've been invited to eat with the family a couple of times (great Mexican food). The rooms are not that basic; I had a big double bed and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. Now, of course, with Pepe Balboa's albergue in the village, few people will prefer to stay here.
