One of the realities of walking this section of the Camino is that there aren’t many albergue options if you’re trying to keep the distances reasonable. I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant when I realized this albergue was more than a kilometer off the trail, but it turned out to be completely worth it.
From the moment I arrived, the host went out of her way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The beds were excellent, the bathroom and shower facilities were spotless and very comfortable, and the pilgrim dinner was outstanding after a long day of walking.
This was a peaceful and relaxing stop on the Camino, and I would highly recommend Albergue Novellana to any pilgrim passing through the area. Buen Camino!

A good first stop on a challenging up and down day. We were hot from the elevation and grabbed some cold drinks. My friend is vegan and they accommodated her with a tomato and lettuce sandwich that she dressed up with some extras in her bag. We were thankful it was open as someone who traveled this coastal route a few days ahead said nothing was open until Cadavedo.

From Soto de Luina to Albuerne is at least 3,5 km not 1 and from Albuerne to Novellana you will have to go all the down and up the hill again. Also there is a very dark Tonnen and jumping through the river experience on the way.
Take care

A charming albergue ,an authentic pilgrim hospital, it has everything you could ask for in a albergue, starting with the hospitalera, Luz, she was understanding and attentive to what the pilgrim may need. In my case, I met a pilgrim in the albergue who I had already met in Muros de Nalon and who was a snorer, and he hadn't let me sleep the night before. I told the hospitalera and she put me in a different room.
The 7 o'clock dinner is great and only €10.
Each bed has its own light and plug to charge a cell phone.

This might be a good place if all went smooth, but we had some problems on our way and we didn’t manage on time and they closed. In a way, it is their right, but it is all about the attitude. The way these communicated with us was not nice too. We reserved a private room and were ready to pay quite a big price.
We are thankful for hotel el Fornón. The booking showed that it is not available, but before 23:00 we went in the hotel and asked them in person if they have a place. They were so friendly, caring and at the end this all tuned out much better for us. Breakfast included, cheaper. We highly suggest this hotel. Atmosphere is wonderful and you will enjoy the care and hospitality of a wonderful woman who works here.

Very nice place inside of a renovated train station. Amazing showers separate from toilets. The dinner was delicious for 8 euros. Highly recommend.

Here we were met with friendliness, good practical solutions and delicious food. This place and it's hosts, deserve a lot of guests. Our little group of 8 recommend this place to all pilgrims.
