This place is very well run.
Clean and comfortable.
I was very impressed.

Big grocery store nearby and you are welcome to use the donativo’s refrigerator.

Breakfast is also offered by donation.

The donation box is by the register table, feel like it’s expected to put donation while check in rather than later. 10 e is fair (they also provide tea, hot coco, and bread and jam in the morning) . But it’s understandable seem like after Covid many albergue are having difficulties to stay open also sounded like recently more pilgrims are not paying. This albergue is a popular one and it has big supermaket next to it, so best is to arrive before 4.

Hospitalero is a bit rough but big hearted. Big handshake upon departure. We paid €10 each, someone attempted to pay €20 and was rejected as too much. Common area to eat, no kitchen but refrigerator. Coffee, toast, butter, jam was provided in the morning at no additional charge. Nice stay v

Clean, community room for eating. No kitchen. Donation, we left €10 each. Someone offered €20 and was not accepted as too much. Nice location, places to eat near by as well as grocery store. Blankets but no sheets, just pillow cases. Rec’d.

They don't have a number system and are first come first serve, so many people had to wait until 3pm in front of the albergue when they arrived. But it was full and later they turned people away.

The albergue has a nice vibe of the "convent" with the corridoors and the yard.
The donation is not anonymous - you are asked to put money at the registration and the host is a bit pushy.

Nice breakfast, some kitchen facilities like a microwave and water cattle.
Decent option!

Nice hospitalerios, the place is cool, with decent showers, a washing machine, nice courtyard with loads of washing lines, coffee,toast & marmalade in the morning. There are secure lockers, which have a power point inside, so phone charging not an issue, a nice hilled place, after a really hard walk.

Thankful the place was open (May 2022). Very tight accommodations, received a stink eye for our donativo, and one of the mattresses had mold on the underside. Only one power outlet in a room with six beds. Options are unfortunately few in this stretch. Would have considered pushing on but it was a very hot day.
