Finisterre add-on

[Robert E. Spenger]

Barry,

Thanks for the information. If you are willing, I would appreciate clarification
of certain points.

Is there a real refugio at Negreira again or are they still using the
Polideportivo? That was so miserable that another pilgrim and I opted to stay in
a hotel that night. What is the scoop of Olveiro? It sure would have been nice
to have had a break on that loonng stretch from Negreira to Cee. That was the
one day that really did me in. Last year there wasn't even a hotel in between
unless you were willing to take a 20 km detour on the chance that the hotel in a
small town to the south was still open. I met one fellow that did that and he
lucked out. The hotel was still there and it was indeed open. You refer to a
hostal in Cee. The term "hostal" is generally used to refer to a small, cheap
hotel type establishment open to anyone. Is this what you meant or is it a
dormitory, more like a regular refugio?

regards,

Robert
