Guillena - municipal albergue still closed?

[JustJack]

I see on Gronze that the municipal albergue in Guillen is closed. Has anyone been through there recently and can advise if that's still the case? Is it a permanent closure?

I'll be through there in three weeks time and I'll report back!

Many thanks! Feel free to report on anything else along the way - I'll be very interested to read.

It was closed earlier this year. We stayed at the private Albergue Luz del Camino. Very friendly people and reasonable facilities. 14 euros per person. I booked via email about 2 weeks before.
If you have time and feel like starting with 2 easy days I would suggest breaking that first stage and staying the first night in Santiponce. The Roman ruins are definitely worth a stop, as is the restored Monasterio de San Isidore del Campo.

I enquired a couple of weeks ago and it's still closed. There was some renovation work going on earlier this year but as the moment there's no news of it opening. https://www.viadelaplataguide.net/guide/guillena

Thanks for the feedback, I've booked Albergue Luz del Camino via email.
