Services

Apulia has a long tradition of harvesting seaweed from the shore, a practice called apanha do sargaco that sustained coastal communities for centuries. The seaweed was dried and used as fertilizer on inland farms. The tradition has mostly died out, but you can still see espigueiros -- the narrow, elevated stone granaries -- standing near the beach, a reminder of the agricultural economy that depended on these coastal resources.

An alternate route follows the coast from Apulia, and the seaside bars along that stretch are a welcome temptation.

The Camino:

The most direct route from Apúlia to Fão is away from the beach and through a brief stretch of heavy woodlands.

No food along the camino

If you want to eat here, you have to leave the Camino and walk about 15-20 minutes towards the coast

Tosco - delicious new restaurant near Albergue

This tiny, unpretentious bakery and restaurant just opened last month. I **think** they’re open from 6:00 - 21:00, but closed on Sundays. Delicious food, large portions and great hours made this a perfect place for a hungry pilgrim to have dinner. I ordered the Tosco plate and the mushroom dish and there is no way I could finish it all. This plus a cookie for tomorrow morning (as it’s a Sunday and they’re closed) only came to €13! CASH ONLY

Home of the Pilgrims hostel

We stopped in the first place we found thinking it was the only hostel listed above but it turns out there are 2 albergues in this town! This place was €20 per bed in the dorm or a private room for €40. The dorm was nicer & way more spacious so we stayed there. Sheets, duvets, pillow cases & towels provided. 2 bunk beds & 4 single beds downstairs in the dorm with a toilet. I think there were 3 private bedrooms upstairs. Shower & toilet upstairs with shower gel & hairdryer provided. Great kitchen facilities. Beer, water, milk, chocolate, cakes, tea, coffee all for sale (very cheap). Lovely host. Gorgeous little doggie who was very friendly & cuddly 😊 Back garden with washing machine for €2, space to sit in the sun & even a place to bbq. Had a great night's sleep. Highly recommend.
