The donativo albergue is very run down. First time during the whole Camino that I'm slightly disgusted by the place. Has a microwave. No bed covers. Beds are a mix of plastic covered ones and plain polyester mattresses. No clothes line outside. Showers are clean but the whole place looks like a half-abandoned hospital. The town has little in terms of choice so I would skip the town if I could.

Camino de Sant…

This listing currently says open all year however I’m staying tonight and have been told they close for winter tomorrow (2 Nov). Suggest checking their website for reopening date.

Camino de Sant…

This is a traditional, clean, simple donativo albergue with a one-room large dormitory, that has wonderful medieval-style paintings all over the walls and ceiling. There is a microwave for pilgrims to use and a large table and benches, if you want to buy your own food (in the nearby supermarket) and eat with your fellow pilgrims, in the traditional and socially-bonding way of the Camino.
It is an old building so prone to being cold (a boon on the hot August day and night I was there) but the albergue also provides blankets for those who want them.
No evidence of bed bugs when I was there and all mattresses and pillows have the thick rubber/plastic blue covers that keep bedbugs at bay. I would definitely stay here again. (Monastery tours at 10.30, 11.30, 12.30, 16.30 & 17.30 on weekdays and 12.30 on Sundays. Tour costs 5€ and last about 45 mins. Beautiful to see the inside of the monastery and cloister).
