Albergue de Peregrinos de Bercianos

Had the best sleep yet on Camino here last night. I think it was the peaceful feeling. The plentiful blankets didn’t hurt either! Great food, wonderful warm hosts, relaxing place. Highly recommend

Kudos to the hospitaleros Ricardo, Elsa, Pepe for making my/our stay so much comfortable. Thank you for the hospitality and best of all the hearty dinner meal you all prepared dor us and the enjoyable company. Thank you to the volunteer chefs Ivan and Pedro for cooking a delicious dinner.

The people here are so lovely and take care of the pilgrims with so much joy! There is a shared meal with optional shared cooking if you want to contribute, foot baths with salt/vinegar/ice, reflective sharing, sunset viewing… it’s such a lovely oasis after a hot day! Oh and separate showers for men and women which is nice.

I stayed here in April 2026 for the second time. It was a fave from my first Camino and I am grateful I was able to return to this special place, a Donativo. The volunteer hosts were welcoming, helpful, caring and they spoke Spanish and English. My bed was comfortable and warm blankets were provided. The vegetarian communal dinner was wonderful, and a simple breakfast is included with the donation. I found the group reflection after dinner to be very meaningful. And there is a viewing of the sunset before bed. I will stay here again when I return to the Francés.

I arrived on a very cold and windy day. The hostel has little heating but the warm welcome more than made up for this. We had a fabulous dinner cooked by a basque txoko chef. turned humble ingredients into a really delicious supper. He was just staying the night and meals are cooked by those staying that day. The hospitalieros were so kind and give great hugs on parting. Do go there but don’t forget you can take what you need but do give what you can.

A great Albergue run by lovely Volunteers that change over every two weeks. Dan and Reneta were kind and very friendly, so helpful. To be a Volunteer, you have to have been a Pilgrim. The meal was delicious, lots of vegetables and a meat option. Good bathrooms, very clean Albergue , so glad we stayed.

This is a lovely place and the hosts are so sincere and sweet. A great Camino experience!

My partner and I stayed here as pilgrims last year May ‘22 and it was wonderful. Her 2nd time, my first. We look for donativos because,yes, they are the heart of the Camino as noted above. The sunset together with all the pilgrims was a tranquil way to be in community with others after a long, hot day. Magic

So, we return in just a few weeks-2nd ½ of April- as hospitaleros to serve again on the Camino. Cannot wait to return to this special place, preserving and providing the pilgrimage hospitality this place and others are known for.

See you soon, in communitas, pilgrim?
