Food is not impossible

Staying at the municipal albergue on a Monday, Bar Lar Sant Yago is closed but hospitalero told me to knock their door and order for takeaway. It works!

Astrar is a great Albergue!

Highly recommend stopping at the Albergue for the night. Turns off the Camino but reconnects through Rua so you don’t back track. Super friendly host. Clean and comfortable.

No food

Maybe if you stayed in a private albergue there was food for you but I passed through 28 April 2022 and the one bar was closed and the other didn’t exist.
