Monte de Gozo has a TON of beds...it's just shy of 5km's from Santiago. I stayed there (and kind of wished I hadn't). The facilities there were fine. It was the only time I disobeyed my own rules and stopped there at 1:00pm and checked in and showered up. My plan was to hike into Santiago the next morning. But I went into town to the train station to get a ticket and found it to be quite difficult as it was mid-July and I couldn't obtain a reservation. So, I booked one train to Leon, and then booked another ticket from Leon to Madrid...this required me to leave the next day (I was planning on spending a whole day in Santiago)Which Albergue has the most beds? I swore I saw a youtube video that said a particular albergue with 600 beds but my daughter tells me im crazy and there is no way there is one larger than 200 beds
According to Gronze they have 183 beds.Doesn't Roncesvalles has close to 500 beds total between all floors?
There used to be many more overflow beds available. The Colegiata were forced to close them in April 2017 because the overflow accommodation did not meet the standards required by local regulations.Doesn't Roncesvalles has close to 500 beds total between all floors?
Do you know what their capacity was before they had to close the overflow area?There used to be many more overflow beds available. The Colegiata were forced to close them in April 2017 because the overflow accommodation did not meet the standards required by local regulations.
Sorry - I don't know. Though I am pretty sure it didn't come close to the Monte do Gozo site's full capacity.Do you know what their capacity was before they had to close the overflow area?
My 2015 Brierley guide says the Roncevalles summer overflow room had 110 beds.Do you know what their capacity was before they had to close the overflow area?
Years ago we had approx. 400 beds. Apart from the albergue itself (183 beds) we had beds in portocabins and in so-called borda's on the campamento, furthermore we had the sótano with 40 beds. Since a few years we are not allowed to use the Campamento due to government regulations, and we are no longer allowed to use the sótano due to fire-safety regulations. We still use the overflow of the 'winter albergue' with 20 beds.
This year the albergue in Roncesvalles has increased the total number of beds. It used to be 217 beds, it is now 245 beds (28 extra beds in the basement).
