Âncora is a medium sized with all services, apart from an albergue de peregrinos. 

The Road

To find your way from Âncora, make your way to the waterfront. The camino follows the road adjacent to it, and where the yellow bike lanes begin you have the option of crossing to the right-hand side of the road, but keep an eye open for where the bike path turns left as you want to follow it to where it ends. From there continue along the dirt track, with the railway to your right for a short distance. 

You will pass the Capela de Santa Isodoro on your left. The path will turn to a road as it enters the first suburbs of Caminha, and where the road ends at another turn right. You are at the beach now and a short distance later turn right and pass under the railway. Once back to the main road turn left and continue towards Caminha.

Where the camino arrives at a large roundabout with the N13, take the third exit along the Rua de Pombal (NOT over the railway). The road will eventually twist to pass over the tracks and from there it proceeds directly to Caminha, arriving at the main square, the Praça Conselheiro Silva Torres.

Very nice town with possibilities to enjoy the ocean. We stayed at Baixinho guest house - private room for couple, cozy, clean room. Stores in the town to buy groceries, restaurants.

바닷가 앞에 게스트하우스인지 호스텔인지 하나 있는데, 15유로 였던 것 같음. 부킹닷컴에만 검색됌. 거기 테라스에서 바라보는 노을이 말도 안되게 이쁨. 근처에 식당도 많고 하루 쉬다가기 딱 좋은 곳이라고 생각합니다.

Yes it was off the pilgrim walk but it was worth it !
Our 5 year old son loved the Guinea pigs, rabbit and donkey encounters . Christina the host was warm and genuine . The kitchen had everything you needed . I even used the oven to make some fish fingers !
Rooms were clean and comfortable. I would return again !

We stayed in a private room at guest house pereira - 20 euros each. It was comfortable and full kitchen facilities. Shared bathroom. We had a look at the rest of the hostel and it is worth noting that although the rooms seem like they have 6 beds, the walls are open and you can hear everything from the other room, so it is basically like being in one big dorm. Highly recommend this town as a stop off - nice beach and restaurants. We enjoyed a great pizza at Napoli down the road and sat outside watching the sunset. Very authentic and delicious Neapolitan pizzas!

I came to this Albergue after a long walk. There was such good vibes and very quit. A lot of food stuff was offered. Eggs, bread, fruit, tomatoes and more.
Clean a lively rooms.
I suffered from severe blisters and decided to stay for another day. The manager herself drove to town to buy Compeed for me and I was offered antibacterial medications.
I truly recommend this place.

I'm not sure why it's not listed but it's a fantastic albergue with a great host and community feel. Clean and new.

Slept in dormitory of 6 for 16€. Hospitalera Maria Magdalena is Wonder Woman. The bar next door belongs to the hostel. Coffee and croissant for 2€. Nice place to stay in front of a beautiful beach.
