Albergue El Convento

So so so precious this place. A definite gem of the camino! Super super clean. Beautiful rooms. Great dinner. Great staff. Beautiful spiritual atmosphere. The talk was so beautiful at 7pm x

Great vibes,communal meal,benediction from the nuns and 2 people in the room❤️

Small, clean rooms. Very good food. Amazing location, amazing town, great price! (19 € + 11 € dinner)

Glorious relief from the noisey roads on arriving through the tourist trail of this stunning medieval town. Warm warm welcome to a single room with sink and bunkbed, with plenty of showers and toliets for the evening of 75 pilgrims. Clithes lunw fir machine/hand wash in an idyliic gatden with pear and apple trees. Optional shared dinner for 11 euro of soup, cicken rice, bread snd the local custard desert, plus very strong wine. Optional blessing and information about the convent history a moving highlight. Yes the highlight of the del norte.🙏🏽🥾🥾

The rooms are smaller, just one bunkbed, and have a sink in them. They were not fully booked, so I ended up with a room all to myself! Highly unusual for an albergue. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, they do have a vegetarian option.

I enjoyed the pilgrims blessing, and I appreciate that the founders of the albergue are focused on serving pilgrims and the underprivileged in their community. I was happy to give them my support.

I really enjoyed this hostel and the warm welcome it offers, as well as the opportunity to share moments with other pilgrims. A beautiful garden, small rooms with few beds, a place to wash up, in short everything a pilgrim needs.

This is a grest camino experience. This albergue is very clean and the facilities are great. They offer a pilgrime meal- 3 course with wine. There is an option to participate in a camino reflection and blessing, this was very special. They also offer breakfast. Definitely stop here.

Excellent dinner, one of the cheapest on the Camino so far. Place is lovely and big and airy, nuns are kind and the optional prayer/meeting was really special. Also the money goes to a great cause. A highlight.

What an incredibly special place. The prayer circle and si ging before, the incredible meals, and the wonderful garden to rest in. I'm so grateful to have gotten to experience this wonderful place.

large spacious garden that was buzzing with pilgrims. good breakfast. inclusive prayer service. 2 bed rooms with sink and clean bathrooms - although there was a shortage of toilet paper as some of the dispensers were broken. still recommend

Reserved my bed and dinner directly on their website https://albergueelconvento.com

Best albergue I’ve stayed in! Very clean, bed super comfortable with crisp white sheets and cosy blanket. Sink in two bunk room and really good showers.

The prayer service was lovely and the communal meal great.

My favorite place on the Norte! Super clean, nice rooms with only two beds in my room. The prayer talk was slow to start but incredibly worth sticking around. Get the food too and relax in the yard. Great washing facilities and space to dry all of your stuff in the yard. Even a guitar to play!! 100% best camino stop! The tourist town is super cute and worth a stop over. The nuns were as kind as could be.

On 8 May 2025 reservation via WhatsApp is not possible. You can make a reservation for a bed/room only through the website at https://www.albergueelconvento.com

Wow this place is heaven after a long day walking on the roads. Everything is clean, nice rooms, spacious bathrooms and super friendly staff

Clean rooms, good facilities (clean shower, washer/dryer) and friendly staff located in a very nice converted building. There is also an option to get dinner and breakfast is included in the morning. Ideal for couples or people travelling in pairs as they have private rooms for two people. Text ahead via WhatsApp to reserve a room

Don’t be put off by the school groups and guided tours filling the streets when you enter town. Within the walls of the Convento, you will find a comfortable bed in a room for two, breakfast and a lovely dinner option, laundry machines, and space to relax. A quiet place to pray, a large common room, and a walled garden to explore. The albergue guitar was put to good use and all had fun. Drinks and snacks for sale as well. Highly recommended.

Plenty of beds, there was a huge group that took up all 60 beds as soon as the convent opened. However, they laid down about 50 more mattresses in other rooms for people to sleep. The nuns were very kind and attentive

What a lovely experience! The albergue is very well run, with beautiful common areas and dorm rooms are doubles- you may be lucky enough to have the room to yourself. Do not miss the blessing of the pilgrims led by the nuns (at 7pm when I was there). Dinner and breakfast were well worth it. Highly recommend this albergue.
Also, definitely take the walk up to Altamira - an excellent museum and reproduction of the world class cave paintings.

What a jewel!

Extremely welcoming and well organized. Gardens, community room, refreshments for sale. Great rooms. We were in a single room for 2. Ironed sheets. Dinner was nice. Soup followed by rice and chicken then homemade flan.

I suggest you book ahead w/ call or WhatsApp.

Infortunately not open. Will open (confirmed) 01-04-23
