Albergue de Peregrinos Paroquial São Salvador de Grijó

Great hostel to stay for a night. 1 room with 3 bunk beds, 4 rooms with only 1 so nice and small. There's a few restaurants and cafés in the area and a tiny shop outside of the hostel doors. They don't take reservations but I don't think it gets very busy.

A true “old school” albergue that makes up in soul what it lacks in polish. This is the kind of place where Camino stories linger in the air like woodsmoke and old prayers. Yes, there’s some mold on the shower curtains and the bathroom tiles have seen better decades, but if you're walking the Camino for perfection, you're missing the point. The vibe here is warm, meditative, and deeply communal—where strangers become friends over shared dinners cobbled together in the open kitchen, and the garden patio becomes a confessional under the stars. The hospiteleros are Camino-souled and kind, the beds are comfortable enough, and disposable sheets do the job. WiFi is reliable, laundry’s done the old-fashioned way, and a small shop next door makes it easy to throw a meal together. This albergue might not win awards for design, but for those who understand what the Camino is really about—it’s a gem.

5 rooms 2 to 4 bunks per room. Used private room per person as only 4 peregrinos. Great kitchen. Lots of antiques and curios. Access knock on next door. Hot showers. Clean but oldish. On Caminho route. Watch out for dogs along route.
