Hi All,
In case anyone is interested in an alternative to the above, I stayed in 3 different auberges during my walk from Santiago to Finisterre in July (many km so not for everyone):
Santiago-Vilaserio 36 km
July 23 Night 1 Vilaserio Schoolhouse. Village bar with auberge will discourge you "oh, it's awful!" but stayed there and it was fine - very basic but doable. No hospitalero, thin mats to sleep on but a hot shower! E0,- When arrived a young Brazilian woman was there and later a group of 8 German bikers otherwise place to ourselves. No stores but can get something to drink and eat at the village bar.
Vilaserio-Corcubión 42 km (long day today but this allowed me to have a whole day enjoying Finisterre)
July 24 Night 2 Cocurbión Donativo San Roque (Communal dinner/wine+breakfast). Opens at 4 p.m. Long uphill walk to the auberge (above the town of Cée).Thought would never find it as it is actually on way out of town. Spanish hospitalero Simon said that few stop there as most continue on to Finisterre. Enjoyed opportunity to make last communal meal together. Large garden/grassy area as well as washing outside, small room with bunkbeds. Only about 15 of us there that night.
Corcubión-Finisterre 12 km
July 25 Night 3 Finisterre Provisional Municipal Auberge in Port E5,- (and for those interested they give out own "compostela"(for those walking from Santiago-Finisterre). Bunkbeds, no kitchen facilities, showers outside in porto cabins but bathroom/toilets inside. Sheets/pillow case included.
Nice short walk, arrived at 8 a.m. (as auberge was still open the hospitalero let me leave my packpack till it opened at 1 p.m.). Had the whole day to relax, enjoy the beach, walk up to the Faro and digest the fact that my Camino had come to a close.
Don't forget to take a picture of the 0,00 km waymarker up at the Faro and experience the moonrise and sunset!
Cheers,
