Albergue de Castro

CASTRO

Camino del Norte app

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.

Lovely place and host so very kind!

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!

Closed without know opening date

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.

Lovely Hospitaleras and Delicious Food!

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.

The best food we have had so far

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.
