Accomodation at Markina - Xemein

[Raymond Aquilina]

Dear all,
I will be starting my Camino del Norte first week of September and I amcurrently making some research about accomnodation possibilities at Markina - Xemein.
From other enquiries it seems that some albergues are closed around Spain due to Covid restrictions. I am wondering what is currently open in this town particularly the Convento Padres Carmelitas. I tried to call them but had no answer.
Does anyone know anything about this town.
I will be walking a long day on the 7th September and plan to reach this town around evening and would like to be sure of finding a bed.
It is not normal for me to reserve.
Thank you and buen Camino

According to Gronze the Convento is temporarily closed due to COVID-19. The one that is open is Albergue-CasaRural Inxauaspe, a bit outside of the center.

¡Ultreia!

We just went through Markina the other day and stayed at Casa Intxauspe...we had pre-booked but they had extra room for pilgrims who got caught without lodgings....they even set up a tent or two as last resort for a few. Good luck. We are now in Bilbao but leaving tomorrow for Portgaletes.

Albergue-CasaRural Inxauaspe was a great place to stay! One of my favorites on the Norte.

There really only one place to stay in Markina and that is Albergue-CasaRural Inxauaspe. The couple who run it are great, it is beautiful, the evening meal is fantastic, both in taste and value, and it is within easy walking distance of the town if you still have the energy to explore. Buen Camino.

I know that I did not have the energy to explore and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in their garden area.
