A small hamlet in the narrowing Valcarce valley. A bar and an albergue provide basic services. The mountains are close now, and the road follows the river through an increasingly tight valley.

I stayed at the hotel and it’s clean and comfortable. I paid only 40 euro for a single room. The only food choice is downstairs bar. There are tons of locals and the food is just so so. Feel like it’s not for pilgrims. If you don’t care food choices, it’s a good place to stay.

We walked through La Portela and were disappointed there was nothing open. Then discovered a little oasis just outside the town. We popped in for a late lunch and what a lovely surprise, a very warm welcome and great pizza.
Definitely worth popping in

Only 4 beds.which to me was great. Nice strong shower with hot water. A place to hand wash or a washer dryer.
They have a very comfortable seating area outside. Pizza was great.
Do t miss this gem of a place.

Right after entering the town in the left-really friendly and peacful place. Almost private rooms, I had the room with 1 bunkbed only. And I seem to be alone in the albergue :) The bar is quite popular for locals, but its far downstaris, so the room is quiet. The laundry washing place is funny -right next to highway :) But it adds some spice to the place. I had really good seafood soup, even though it was not in the menu. And the prices are really reasonable.

At the truck stop before you enter town there is a 24 hour cafe. We stopped before 0700 and had a French omelet served with tomatoes, coffee, churros. Solid.

We have been staying at David's place for the night and the hospitality was wonderful! The pizzeria is open only on fri/sat/sun, but he's there all the week to help pilgrims and he made pizza for us even if the restaurant was closed.
It was a really nice place and his company is wonderful!

At the end of La Portela is an incredible pizza place called Rock & Roll Pizza. A funky atmosphere with excellent pizza and salads that come out quick. Pizzas are perfectly cooked thin crust and very big. Definitely worth the stop! I didn’t stay overnight, but the also offer beds for donation only
