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.

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.
