Amazing pilgrims meal – great service, delicious food, friendly staff… Did I mention delicious food? :)


Staying at the municipal albergue, which was modest. And quite a bit damp and cool, but then this is a year of winter floods…. Anyhow, Jaime’s mother made a the best chourisso de Carne - smoking, chunky, meaty, and greasy goodness. Boil it briefly, she said , so I did. Any fan of smoked meat will recognize this house made wizardry for what it is - the work of local genius. For breakfast the next morning there is cafe and pastel de Nata, or whatever you need for the next stage of Camino. G-d bless his home and family - a wonderful discovery on the Way.

Possibly one of the rudest landlords I have experienced. The restaurant was empty but for three other guests (capacity: 80-100) and it was the end of lunch at 2:45pm (few other guests to be expected) yet the landlord took extreme exception to me sitting near the one plug socket he had to charge my phone over lunch to carry on my hike, as that was a table for four. I was told to sit on a table for one (no plug socket) or get out. Given the choice, head on to the next restaurant.

Na tarde de 22 de Maio de 2023 escolhemos ficar no Albergue Constantino.
Muito perto há uma farmácia caso seja necessário.
Lugar sossegado, casa e quarto aceitaveis.
Escolhemos ficar num quarto de casal.
Dispõe de cozinha sendo possível cozinhar e esta foi a nossa opção. No entanto a nossa chegada questionaram se queriamos jantar pois costumam oferecer transporte para um restaurante perto para jantar.
Nas redondezas não há serviços, restaurantes etc. Se optarem por fazer o proprio jantar devem levar os mantinentos necessários.
Wc partilhado amplo e limpo.
Dispõe de secador de cabelo.
Não inclui pequeno almoço.

Albergue Ninho is great. The downstairs area feels like a cozy cabin in the mountains with the fireplace. The upstairs sleeping area has a grand dining table and beautiful art. There is a great outside sitting area with a view. This is a beautiful place to stay.

Such a great cafe. I would recommend!!!

Such a great place to stay - clean and good space, but simple and cheep. Sonia, the hostess, was really nice and made sure I had all I needed. Really recommend it!

Casa Sebastiao was clean and organized. The Camino takes you past a great little cafe. Perfect stop for a break or food. Steps away is Case Sebastiao. Perfect room with twin beds and en suite. Very clean. Host took care of my laundry for 3€. Short walk to town gets you to a restaurant with a simple and delicious menu.

The same owner as the Alburgue de Consta tine on the previous village has private rooms above his restaurant. Just a bit up the road on the left where the path crosses the road by the supermarket, you are leaving town.

There is an cafe/mini supermarket just opposite of the hostel, nice service but expensive. Good restaurant “Bom Retiro” a small walk from the hostel - view is excellent!. If you go further for about 1 km you will find a traditional cafè as well.

The most beautiful place to stay! Incredible kitchen! Pool, everything perfekt

Nice pilgrim’s menu with plenty of choice and nicely cooked. Includes soup, main and a drink. Maybe also dessert but we were too full! Just 2-300 metres down the route from the albergue and Casa Sao sebastiao

Café Sao Sebastiao - closed at Saturday! :'-(

Due to Covid this is the first stop we ended up w sane people. Some fun Portugues women, a Czech family, and anoth set of Spaniards. All super nice and fun. Spent the next day hiking with a Portuguese family for 4 hours. I’m hoping we will see them again.

Right above Ninho - Casa Sao Sebastian. We arrived after 6 hours of pouring rain. Our hostess Sonia dried our clothes for us. The beds were comfier and the setup very quiet and efficient. When the rain finally stopped, it was a quick walk to dinner.

It was easy to find just beyond the church on the Caminó. We are here on Wednesday May 8. There seems to be quite a few options for stopping here. This place was listed in Brierley’s guide.

Neither Albergue showed any sign of life around 1300 but the restaurant was open. The manger said the Albergue opened around 1900 so we pushed on. Restaurant was a real oasis as this stretch from Ponte de Lima In January on. Sunday was quite sparse services wise.
