Congratulate yourself on a job well done, the pass into Galicia has been overcome and from here on out the mountains soften in severity. 

Triacastela is full of choices: where to eat, where to shop, where to sleep, and even how to leave town.

Coming through the farming cute stone village just before Triacastela where 2 big dogs, one was tied up the other one leapt up and bit my back pack pulling me over. At the first bar we met a girl who had been attacked by the same dog, it had ripped her backpack. I didn’t even see the dogs, taken by complete surprise.

If going to Samos getting food can be challenging on a Sunday

I used Casa David today and was initially concerned because of a recent negative review. I’m pleased to report our quarters were as described, clean and cozy… no complaints on our end.

The staff was ready for us when we arrived and were friendly.

We had dinner at a larger restaurant on the same street, so I can’t comment on the kitchen or food experience.

I chose Casa David because of a recent post by a pilgrim who had gotten bed bugs at a different establishment in Triacastela. I figured I’d rather have unfriendly staff and good accommodations than the bed bugs.

I was happy with our positive experience.

I forgot my own golden rule for the Camino - choose family-run businesses in small towns over bigger, less characterful albergues - because I have a chest infection and was exhausted. Walking through A Balsa this morning, just a little way in from Tricastela, I came across Albergue Ecologico el Beso, which looks just divine. If you're after a more special experience, maybe try there. Buen Camino!!

I've never felt so unwelcome. I would never have eaten there. Bar looked dirty and greasy. The owner didn't like the fact that I dried my things on the terrace either.

Very clean, very pleasant. Great hot water and shower. No food, but there’s plenty down the road. We had a great breakfast at Casa David.

Very nice pilgrim meal at Complexo Xacobeo, typical pricing but the selections were an upgrade I thought.

We had the best meal at restaurant bar Esther, with scallons in shells and grillede vegetables

We stayed at Iberik Hotel in Triacastela and we enjoyed a great breakfast buffet with fresh made scrambled eggs, yogurt, fresh whole grain breads, cheeses, fruit, tea and coffee. The room had heated floors in the bathroom and it was pristine and modern. Highly recommended.

Stayed here September 2021 - very clean, friendly staff and close to centre. Nothing fancy, just clean, basic accommodation and great value at €10/bed.
