Hello all
I just completed the Camino Portuguese and plan to walk to Finisterra on SEP 12. Any advice for lodging about 20 km or so. I see some places in Negreira, but there are not many positive comments. Anyone with recent experience?
Thanks

Most people who have an okay or good experience don't post reviews. So take those comments with a grain of salt.

A few years ago I had a good experience at Albergue Anjana.

For the day after Negreira I can recommend Albergue Monte Aro. Really nice place with a good restaurant.

The hostel - Monte Aro

The hostel is located in the borough of Mazaricos, in the Lago place. It is located on the road to Fisterra. Our hostel has 30 beds and with all services

Albergue Coton in Negreira is very nice, I liked it more than the municipal there

Albergue A Casa da Fonte in Cee is excellent and is run by a pilgrim

I also liked Monte Aro

I walked Santiago - Finisterre - Muxia - Santiago this past August so recently

Buen Camino
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I like the Albergue Rectoral San Mamede in Pena - have stayed there twice, the communal meal is good and it’s a very pleasant setting. It is however about 9km after Negreira.
 
Thanks to everyone who has offered their advice. Perhaps this question may also help others.
Buen Camino
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

We stayed at Albergue Alto da Pena in A Pena in April. It was not quite 10km from Negreira. The view from the upper floor over the valley was stunning, especially when sitting on the throne (toilet)! And the communal meal was excellent.
 
Walked to Muxia, Finisterre and back to Santiago last month.

In Neigreira we stayed at San Jose (also on the way back). It was fine, first time a 3-persons room with own bathroom, second time a 2-persons room with shared bathroom.

Next day: Casa Pepa (and a week later again ). Great place, great people!

I also liked Albergue Talieiro in Cee. It's quite new.
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Last time I walked was late in the year and almost everything was closed. Stayed at the municipal. It was clean and really new. Only problem was it is on the far end of town. I didn't know that and had to walk back into town to get some food. Of course nothing to cook as it is Galicia. The hospitalerio wasn't the sweetest guy in the world but I only had to deal with him for 2 minutes
The weather was pretty awful and i took my time after walking 1000K to Santiago. The albergues I stayed at that I can remember are the following: They were all wonderful.
https://www.gronze.com/galicia/coruna/santa-marina-maronas/albergue-casa-pepa. The bar/restaurant in the albergue was really good and the owners of the owners were super nice.

https://www.gronze.com/galicia/coruna/logoso/albergue-pension-logosoAnother short day to here,
The day day was really, really hard rain all day and I had another short stage to here. It was brand new. The woman who lives next door to the albergue is the mother of the owner. She is super nice and opened the albergue for me. Her son came at night to collect the money. It was a strange albergue. New and clean and comfortable with a TV in ever bed!!! Kind of strange. Again I had to walk about a kilometer back to town in the rain and so I could eat.

Finally made it to Muxia and stayed there a few days. Love Muxia. I like it better than Finistere as it is far mellower. Just my preference. Both have their pluses for sure.
Stayed at a wonderful family owned albergue and had a great dinners cooked by 4 wonderful Italian young ladies who insisted I eat with them. The next night almost all of us from the albergue at at a really good restaurant by the water. It was a great 3 days. The owners give out that Muxia certificate. I think all the albergues can issue it though. The family that owned this albergue couldn't have been more welcoming. The second morning the hot water heater broke and they opened up 3 rooms in their pension above the hostel so we could all shower.
