Albergue Albergaria-a-Nova

Stayed Nov 2019.... they had no power for lights or for cooking so used a wood oven to supply the meal that was “by donation” so I overpaid a full 10 euros for a small amount that I felt awkward eating in the company of the residents (who were not exactly owners or hospitaleros.... more like, lost folks who had found some kind of refuge).
5 dogs, no heat (a portable heater was offered to me but with the power going out for hours at a stretch, it did me no good). Empty reptile tanks in need of cleaning, and half finished bathrooms through half finished kitchen...
Had my knee not had more than enough on this day I would have walked on 5 k to the Catholic Refugio that was the next closest place to stay.

Welcoming host but speaks no English. The good smell in the rooms is misleading, they are actually dirty just like the bathrooms and the kitchen. Even saw a bedbug there this morning. I wouldn’t go to this place again for sure.

Not so clean, nobody speak english, but you can buy some food and drinks by own, which was great for the evening. Super is awfull

Full kitchen, kind of weird bathroom facilities, but comfy room and beds. Just next to the highway. The cafe nearby is great.

Good Albergue, welcomed with cake at the bar. Warm comfortable room. Gave us a ride to a great restaurant and picked us up again.
