How great to have an albergue up in the old town! The two truck stops on the highway below were perfectly ok but how much nicer to be up in the casco histórico. My experience with Albergues that are located inside the ayuntamiento/town hall is that they are spotless since the municipal cleaning staff just adds the albergue to their rounds.

Thanks for the good news, @JLWV.

How nice. Sorry I missed that. I have looked on the web page for news but things like that might not be added there?

It looks really nice.
It will be added soon, but we could not do It before It was official by the ayuntamiento.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

Looking forward to getting back on the Camino de Levante next week. It’s a long and solitary Camino, although I am as far as Zamora now, where it merged with the VDLP and on to the Sanabres. Here...
