Great news!
There is a new albergue in Mesão Frio. It’s located in the 'Casa dos Albergaria' on Rua do Balcão, just after passing the Pelourinho, across from the 'Mercearia do Balcão,' where you can also pick up some food and supplies.
To stay at the albergue, you must contact them in advance (preferably Monday to Friday) at: biblioteca@cm-mesaofrio.pt, turismo@cm-mesaofrio.pt, or +351 254 890 106 (no Whatsapp).
 
Train for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island March 16-19
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Luis has just posted this on FB Torres Group.

Good news!

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
Weird. I wrote today to the two email addresses in the post, saying I was a pilgrim whobwould arrive Thursday and I hoped to stay in the pilgrim albergue. The response I got was:
Boa tarde,
Neste momento, os peregrinos do Caminho de Torres, estão a pernoitar nos Bombeiros, pelo que, quando chegar a Mesão Frio deve dirigir-se aos Bombeiros Voluntários de Mesão Frio.
Com os melhores cumprimentos,
The translation seems to be that pilgrims are staying with the firefighters.

Perhaps the albergue is temporarily closed? Or not really open yet? Although the photos make the latter unlikely.

Either way you have a place to rest your head. I stayed at many Bombeiros on my very first Caminho from Lisboa to Santiago in 2015. So much fun and they were incredibly kind indeed, offering shampoo, shower gel etc...
