About us
Some guests stay for a single night.
Others stay longer.
Everyone leaves a small trace behind.
Every day, people from all over the world arrive as strangers
and leave as friends.
Well, most of them.
The Crew
Bom Caminha is run by a rather unusual crew.
Two couples from Germany, England, Ireland and the United States somehow found themselves running a Pilgrims Albergue in an old house in northern Portugal. Along the way, wonderful people from other countries joined the adventure.
A crew as multi-culti as Camino itself.
Captain's Note
The Camino usually finds them in about two weeks.

The Location
Within a few minutes, you can reach cafés, restaurants, the river, the taxi boats and within 2km are the beautiful river and ocean beaches of the Camarido woods.
Caminha
Caminha is a place of historic beauty, welcoming social life, complimented by changing tides, sea air, fishing boats and spectacular sunsets.
It is also the place where many pilgrims pause, take a deep breath and realize that Santiago is still far enough away for another Pastel de Nata in a Cafe next to the big Fountain.
Not that anyone is counting.
Captain's Note
The captain's answer is always the same:
The backpack gets lighter. Or the shoulders get stronger.
Sometimes both.
