cheap pensions-triacastela

[Barry Evans]

my memory is that you have 3 choices in triacastela, the official (white and
green) one on the east end of town; the alternative one (in the middle of town
and 20 yards to the right, rather expensive); and the bar right in the middle
of town on the left, 4 or 5 rooms upstairs. We stayed in the latter (arrived
cold and wet from El C, pouring rain, ready for a private room), and loved it.
It wasn't expensive (maybe 3000 pesetas for the two of us), very clean, hot
showers, just what we needed. And they kindly turned the TV down when we asked
(we had the room right above the bar.)
