The Galín Gómez refuge is located next to the Barco lagoon, and that is why it is sometimes known by this name. It is a small stone house in which no type of service is offered. There is a fireplace and two wooden platforms to put a mat and sleeping bag. More people can sleep on the floor, although it is quite worn. I recommend you arrive early to collect some firewood before nightfall and be able to heat up the room a bit.

Between the refuge and the lagoon there is a water pipe that comes out very clean and with great force.
