Albergue Municipal de La Virgen del Camino

The Donativo opens at 2 pm and has a big green space to sit with trees and is really spacious inside , with large dining room , lounge area and clean white cotton sheets and pillowcases. Highly recommended to have a quiet space and be close to grocery stores and cafe/restaurants . Though an excellent kitchen for cooking and breakfast is provided.

Fantastic in every way. Real sheets good bunks lovely hosts great facilities. Only 6 people here tonight

This is a nice & spacious donativo. Good kitchen area, and lounge. Not the nicest area of town, but I was one of 6 pilgrims in the whole place and my goal was to rest, so it was a very quiet night. Everything is clean, and there was a light breakfast served in the morning. Highly recommend staying here as your second “rest” night for Leon, and then you’ll have a more manageable walk to Hospital de Orbigo the next day.

This is a super nice donativo! Most people stay in Léon, but I recommend staying here after exploring the city because it's so much more personal and friendly than what you will find in the city. Real sheets, nice kitchen, breakfast included, nice places to relax and socialize, soap and laundry detergent provided, and incredibly welcoming volunteers. It's a little tricky to find but totally worth it - just keep going along the road and the hedge eventually opens up to reveal it. If you are there on Sunday and want to cook a meal, I recommend buying ingredients in Léon because the store here is closed on Sunday.

I stopped here to stay after 35km and couldn’t have been happier. From the start, Charles and Kathleen welcomed me like an old friend. They offered me water with lemon and oranges to cool myself off and then welcomed me into the very clean and modern Albergue with open arms. What a wonderful place to stop for the night. We had a community dinner (Charles should be a chef) and talked and laughed throughout the evening about our experiences on different Caminos. The beds were very comfortable and came with real cotton sheets. I’d stay here again in the future.

Stayed here for a night on the way to Hospital de Obrigo. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay or a better place to interact with others. The volunteers that run the Albergue were so kind and inviting. You can tell they love their jobs and have been pilgrims before. The place is clean, modern, and the beds are super comfortable.

Leon war ausgebucht, also fuhr ich weiter zu diesem Hostel. Mit Abstand das beste Hostel auf dem Camino! Die beiden Gastgeber, Charles und Kathleen, gaben jedem Pilger das Gefühl, etwas Besonderes zu sein. Charles half uns, das beste Abendessen zu kochen, das ich seit Wochen gegessen habe! Ich kann nicht in Worte fassen, wie dankbar ich bin, dass ich unterwegs dort angehalten habe.

Achei este albergue acolhedor e convidativo. Carlos e Kathleen foram os melhores anfitriões. Tão hospitaleiro. Limpo, espaçoso e moderno.

While this Albergue doesn’t look like much from the outside, I can’t say enough about the inside. It is modern, spacious, clean, and welcoming. The Hospitalero’s are kind, inviting, and genuinely interested in making ANY pilgrim feel welcome and comfortable. The group dinner was so excellent with lemon pasta, salad, and bread, all organized by the Hospitalero’s and the pilgrims collectively. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to rest my head and fellowship with others. What a wonderful surprise for me on the Camino. Skip Leon and stay here!! It’s wonderful!

From the outside, it looks very sketchy, but it is wonderful inside. Plenty of room for your things, spacious shower and bathroom areas that are separate for men and women. They will do your laundry for you,, and have breakfast items for the morning. They are so kind and had a lemon/orange water for us when we arrived. A responsible donation is what you pay. Very nice! 😁

This albergue is open. It is a Donativo and is run by volunteers who really care about you. The albergue is spacious with all the amenities you could ask for. They offered me cold water when I arrived and gave me real cotton sheets for the bed. Very modern, clean, and spacious facility.

Thank God for the hosts at this Albergue. They lifted my spirits and renewed my soul. The facility is clean and bright and the hosts were the most warm and caring I’ve experienced since starting the Way. Breakfast was so good!

This is by far the best Albergue I have stayed on the Camino. To top it off, it’s a Donativo! It’s run by volunteers who keep it sparkling clean and care so much for each pilgrim. I could feel the care and love that came from Charles and Kathleen. Breakfast was amazing and served with care. You don’t want to miss this place!! It’s an experience you want on the Camino!

This albergue is run by volunteers and is modern, very clean and close to the town center and the Camino trail. The hosts were amazing and so caring. They really made us feel special. Thank you Charles and Kathleen! ❤️

Quick update. This Albergue is open, and very welcoming.
