The albergue in Güemes, run by Ernesto and a small group of volunteers, has a reputation for being one of the not to be missed albergues along the way.

Fiesta

San Lorenzo is celebrated on the 10th of August and Nuestra Señora de Consolación on the first Saturday of September.

The Road

The route from the church in Güemes (along the shortcut) and the official camino rejoin on the CA-443 at the west end of town. This is the same road that led into town, but the number changed at the church.

Where it reaches a junction with another main road, turn left. Galizano is ahead and on your right. You will turn off the road to pass through it.

We were greeted with cold glasses of water and shown to great accommodations. Very conducive to socializing with fellow pilgrims. Nice dinner and breakfast. A memorable stay.

As other pilgrims have mentioned, this section is on the road for about 4 km. It was not busy when we did it, and there were lots of cyclists around. A windy road, but still safer than other routes recommended here. Seemed like the only way to go as well. Just be cautious- no cars were moving that quickly

It seems like the Albergue is at the crossing in Güemes, however, it is found on Google Maps if you search for Albergue La Cabaña del Abuelo Pueto around 1,3 km further down the road.

Camino de Sant…

On the stretch from Guemes to Galizano the Camino is on the road without a separate path. There wasn’t that much traffic but there are a lot of curves meaning the cars won’t be able to see you if they come. It’s recommended to change the side of the road to make sure you have enough warning before a car passes - seemed to me more dangerous than the other parts that are marked as dangerous in this app
