Information for Pilgrims
Hospitality for Pilgrims.
As well as running retreats, we also offer hospitality for pilgrims. You can either stay in a private ensuite room at Flores del Camino (depending on availability) @ 50 € or at the cosy village municipal pilgrims refuge which we also look after.
The albergue is made up of a dormitory of 8 beds @ 5 € with a pilgrim credencial. When possible we offer a healthy and nourishing communal evening meal / breakfast by donation for all pilgrims usually served at Flores del Camino. Alternatively the refuge kitchen is stocked up with basic food supplies to make a meal. Please note that there is no shop in our little village.
1km Alternative Camino Route.
As with most alternative Camino routes, the one to Castrillo is well worth taking, especially at just 1km. It is documented that the village was on the Medieval Camino, housing a pilgrims hospital. Please make sure you avoid unnecessary road walking from Murias de Rechivaldo by following these directions :
Just before leaving Murias de Rechivaldo by the Camino, turn right on Calle Nueva towards Murias albergue municipal. At the albergue cross the main road & turn left past Casa Flor on the main road. After 200 meters take the path on the right that runs parallel with the road to avoid road walking. Castrillo is straight ahead. The keys & reception for the albergue are at Flores del Camino - on the main street - Calle Real 36.
