All Caminos App User

Very busy already, first week of May 2023.
A run down municipal. Fine for getting a night’s sleep, but not a particularly nice place.
It didn’t feel clean - but I’d say that is because it’s quite rundown. Old mattresses etc. The toilets and showers were ‘clean’ but very run down. Again - fine for a nights sleep. (The showers had good pressure and plenty of hot water.)
Cat litter, cat bed and cat food by the bathrooms - again all a bit run down even compared to other municipals.
I arrived late (9pm) and all bunks were taken but there were floor mattresses and some double sofa beds for two friends sharing - they were on a patio annex with full length shutters pulled down - so kind of indoors/outdoors! It was freezing! Don’t sleep directly next to the shutters if you can help it! But there were blankets - which also didn’t feel clean, but nevermind. I was warm with the blanket.
Although other people were also arriving when I arrived, and people were sat up talking, those of us to arrive later were given quite a patronising telling off. The host seemed a bit annoyed by everything - warning us (very rudely) not to make noise etc. This is my third Camino and I’m in my 40s - I’ve never been told off as part of the welcome!

Camino de Sant…

Unfortunately not the best experience, standing water in the showers with only cold water, not very clean and there were bed bugs. We got the disposable sheets for the bed, but not for pillows. Some people were sleeping directly on the mattress but on the floor. Host was very nice but the place wasn’t decent.

Camino de Sant…

Hello, I am one of the volunteers and I would like to update the information about our albergue:

Now we also sell pilgrim's credencial.

There is a supermarket (monday to saturday), snack bar and bakery near by.

We still don't have washing machine but we have a place to wash by hand and a lots of space to let it dry. 10 minuts walking there is a self service laundry.

Buen Camiño!

Betty, who lives and works across the street, is watching for pilgrims arriving and made us feel very welcome at this clean albergue. Payment is by donation.

Lots more than the stated 8 beds in 2 rooms (maybe 16? But some are together like marital beds). Nice big airy rooms & very clean.

Nice and clean. Betty's welcomed us and made sure all is right. Met wonderful pilgrims and shared what we couldn't carry.
