Albergue Municipal

At first I was hesitant to take the alternate route along the Camino but if I did not I would have never had a chance to experience the warmth and hospitality of this albergue. Our hospitalero San Fermin woke up early in the morning just to say goodbye to us and each gave us a big hug. There were barely any people so the albergue was very comfortable. Unlike reviews from prior years the bathrooms and bunks are in great condition. If you decide to stay here try to arrive before 3 pm because at the time the restaurant nearby was closed and the only thing open was a small food market (that closes around 3) by the albergue where I was able to buy some ingredients to cook.

Such a special albergue. Not many pilgrims venture the alternate route, so we only had 8 of us total, and everyone got a pod to themselves! Fernando, the hospitalero, and the pilgrims themselves made the experience so sweet and special.

It was lifesaver for me (2025/10/31 - all day raining). The hostel a little bit old, but well equipped, and it was great to dry next to the fireplace.

This albergue is not visited by many pilgrims as it can only be reached via the alternative route behind Sahagun. But it is definitely worth a visit. José Maria is the best and warmest host on the camino so far. He has given his heart to the pilgrims, dances and sings with you. He even had tears in his eyes when we said goodbye. He has a beautiful wax stamp for your credential and won't extra money for that. I can only recommend visiting him. He deserves it and you won't regret it.

This place doesn't look much from the outside, and the village isn't the prettiest. But this Albergue was amazing, and is a fantastic place to stop. Very basic, but spotlessly clean, comfy partitioned bunks and spacious good showers. There is a fully equipped kitchen, which even has many ingredient's available like olive oil etc, and there is a wonderful little shop next door to buy food to cook. There are also other eating options in the village. The hospitelero Juanjo runs a tight ship, and the Albergue is a credit to him and the village.
