Public Pilgrims' Albergue - Mater Christi

I was grateful they stayed a little late to grant me one of the remaining beds. After a long day hiking in the rain and cold I was tired. It was packed but everyone kept as quiet as possible in the main coed sleeping quarters. Basic accommodations, kitchen was functional but chaotic. Needed to dry clothes but the night clothesline didn’t get the job done. I didn’t have enough change to use the dryer and no attendant was there in the morning. One thing that would have improved on things would be a fan or dehumidifier in the main sleeping hall, maybe AC? Got pretty dank in there packed with tired people and trapped airspace. I was the lucky one with my window open behind my head. For the 9Euros it got the job done.

Very pleasant place to stay on the Camino. Calm atmosphere, and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. They helped me with my problems, and I felt safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended.

Very happy to have gotten a spot here! Despite there being 24 beds (and all of them full!) in 1 big room, it was calm and pleasant. Separate bathrooms for men and women, 1 toilet and 2 showers each. It was sufficient. Soap provided. Washer/dryer available for hire, or hand wash in available outside sink. The outside patio really shines. There’s a picnic bench and several benches to chill and talk, as well as a couple of hammocks to relax in. Cherry tree gave some cherries. Día supermarket 10 mins walk away. Kitchen was very basic. It was just a microwave, and only 2 bowls I didn’t see until morning, but so many mugs! Some tea provided, and a kettle, which I don’t see often! People shared milk, fruits, snacks. It was nice.

This albergue is filled with the kindest people. The view is also great. You will have a great time here!

I visited just after Christmas and the people who run the albergue were very nice, everything was very clean.
