Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino del Norte app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.
Wise Pilgrim appAccommodation type : Private
Although it is called a municipal albergue, it is privately maintained and operated. Located in an 80 year old former school building made of stone. The ground floor is the bar and restaurant where the village dines. The beds are made up with a fresh bottom sheet and pillowcase.

This place has the kindest host! It’s family run and they were all so welcoming. They were so considerate and caring. They truly went above and beyond. Make sure you spend a night here!
The stamp is so cool too and they have a community dinner too!

On the 3rd of July 2025 it was still closed. There is no notice of when it will reopen.
Camino Ninja app shows it is open but it is not. Despite several messages they will not change the status. So in my opinion the app is unreliable.

I had the delightful pleasure of staying at this albergue after a short day’s walk from Grandas de Salime, which I’d decided to do to make the next day to Fonsagrada a little easier. I arrived early enough that I had plenty of time to visit the nearby Museo del Chao Samartin, which I highly recommend, before checking in. Hospitaleras Natalia and Dora were absolutely welcoming and friendly, so patient with my patchy Spanish and able to fill in gaps with English. The home cooked food was fresh and delicious: I enjoyed tortilla, sopa lentilla, and boquerones looking at the gorgeous mountain view.

Small dormitories of 4 beds. Great selection of home made food all day at a great price. Combined with Maria’s warm hospitality this is a great place to stay.
