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.

In the 13th century the Order of St. John operated a hospital for the poor and for pilgrims here, one of several along the Primitivo. The tradition of sheltering pilgrims at this spot has persisted, in one form or another, for over 700 years.

So glad Grado was full and walked the extra distance to this place! The views were spectacular and it was so peaceful. The host was kind, generous and comical. Would visit this place without question. There was food for us to make and eat.

I dropped in to visit the Albergue Villapanada to see the old hospital and the view was spectacular. If I had known this place existed I would have walked the extra hour from Grado. The kind host gave me water and offered me food even though I wasn’t staying the night. Stock up on supplies before you arrive from Grado as there is a fully equiped kitchen- and always some leftover pasta and rice and some fresh vegetables available. Maybe take some meat to share as a treat. They have alcohol there.
