Costa da Egoa

We were there end of March on our stop to Betanzos for the Camino Di Santiago. The place is very welcoming, the food is the best and the room is top clean and comfortable. The owner, which is a family run hotel, they did everything to make us feel at home, I recommend 100%plus. Cynthia. From Malta

Wonderful hideaway and perfect for weary pilgrims. Basic but very comfortable rooms and marvellous food and service. Had a lovely time here and we were able to relax and chat to other pilgrims. Very sociable setting

This was a little of the path of the cameno, but worth the night stay. The group dining hall was homely and nice. The food was excellent, with care in preparation and in servicing the pilgrims. This was a very relaxing setting in a woodsy camp-like environment. In really made me relax and enjoy another wonderful place alone the walk.

We came by car rather than as peregrenos. Simple rural accomodation where your host, with simple English and a ready use of a language app, will ensure you have a good stay. Meals are provided as you wish, with Rocio changing the offering if you have any neededs/preferences. Meals here are not small plates. We did try the short walk along the stream that connects the mills, which actually flows through the grounds. Be warned, it is steep in places, very uneven and slippy. Boots and poles are recomended. I would certainly rebook if in the region . Of its type, I am happy to rate as 5.

We stayed here one night while on the Camino (instead of heading to the albuerge at Bruma), and while getting here was treacherous, it turned out to be one of our favorite Camino guest houses. Rocio, who runs things, was lovely and accommodating and so nice to chat with. Costa da Egoa is not near anything, so either eat before or do like us, and eat there; we had both a snack (so much jamon it was amazing) and dinner there, which she made. I can't have gluten--which I'd notified her about in advance while we were confirming my reservations--and she made sure to have not just one but TWO bread options for me! Which was so awesome. (I'm also told the regular pan rustico was as delicious as it looked.) Breakfast was similarly hearty. The rooms were simple and sufficent. We arrived at Costa da Egoa after 2.5 hours walking in the absolute pouring rain and crazy wind, and the rooms--in an old stone house/mill/barn--were cozy and clean. Wifi was patchy for me as I was a couple of rooms from the main area with the router (with a couple of stone walls between us), but the rooms closer to the main area had better connections. Before we arrived, Rocio had mentioned, via email, that it may be wiser to take a cab from the Camino/once we reached the AC-542/As Travesas; I wish we had listened because even though it's only a couple kms farther, the route is treacherous. First you're on the side of a very main road with no sidewalks and then you have to cross a highway. No joke. It was very scary. We ended up joining another pair of pilgrims who were at Costa da Egoa with us (and had also braved the highway crossing... in the pouring rain) the next morning and getting a cab back to the Camino rather than doing that treacherous walk again. Rocio arranged the cab for us and we were good to go. So, all that to say, I know it looks close, but don't walk it! :) Oh also, expect to do all your communicating in Spanish.

After a long walk (23km), it was a complete joy to arrive at Costa da Egoa for a one-night stay. The accommodations were excellent and the hosts were amazingly helpful. We also enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Our rooms were clean. Although it's 3.7km from the highway, it's only a short taxi ride away.
