Accommodation in Granja de Moreruela - help!

[Tezza]

Hello! I have planned to start walking the Camino Sanabres - from Granja de Moreruela - on 3nd October, so need accommodation in GdM on the 2nd. Unfortunately the only accommodation that seems open in GdM is fully booked (Donde Victor Luna). The first day's walk, to Tabara is long and I will need to start quite early (I have accommodation booked at Tabara). Does anyone have any ideas? Either about any alternative accommodation in GdM or perhaps how to get there from elsewhere (Zamora?) early-ish in the morning? I'm thinking it might be possible to get a taxi from Zamora, but from what I can see it would be very expensive. Any ideas or thoughts welcome! (I only have limited time so can't change my days - I'm arriving in Madrid late in the evening on the 1st and was planning on travelling to GdM on the 2nd).

Call Jose Almeida at the Albergue Peregrinos de Tabara. He can advise for the entire route. I think it's pretty challenging these days, so many places are still closed! 637 92 60 68

There is also a private albergue, right beside the Camino, at the entrance of the town. Don't know if they're open, but worth a try?

Yes, I believe so.

Thanks, I've sent them a msg on fb but looks like just a cafe, no accommodation.

Thanks, good idea. I've checked all their timetables though, and unfortunately nothing near GdeM.

Yes, I saw there was one to Tabara. But that would mean missing out the walk from GdeM? That would be sad!

Ah, I only speak a few words of Spanish unfortunately.

I realise it can be a dissapointment that is true but I'm thinking in a practical way seeing you have limited time.
This past year was not normal in many ways so I guess anyone who is on a lesser travelled Camino will have to be open to some changes in the plans.
Good luck!

Yes indeed! Not giving up yet, though...!

You can take an early bus from Zamora, it leaves you about about 10km north of GdeM, I'm sorry, I can't remember exactly where it stops..

On the wall there's a sign that says 'Albergue'. On the photo it's on the left side. Furthermore: I stayed there in 2018. Don't remember if it was nice or not though...

They hold the key for the municipal and they sign you in and give you your stamp. Are you sure you're not confusing things? The albergue is 100 metres or so further along the main street..

Could be I'm mixing albergues up. I've stayed in quite a few over the last 10 years. At least I do remember the entrance. I don't remember picking up the key though.

Ah, happy days, I finally had a reply to my e-mail from Donde Victor Luna Hotel in G de M and they will have a room free! It will be so nice to start at the beginning (even though I'm sure it's going to be a long and tough day, for my first day's walk!). Buen Camino everyone.

@Tezza, sorry I didn't see this earlier. I am glad you found accommodation. We stayed at La Casa del Tío Quico, just to the west from the church, right along the Camino. It is a marvelous old, restored farmhouse, with a quiet, interior courtyard (see my stage from Montmarta to Granja de Moreruela for photos). The home's website states that it is 220 E/night, but that is for the whole house. You can inquire about a room only. For 50 Euros, we got a double room, ensuite, which was cozy and comfortable!

@André Walker, you are right, the Bar TeleClub does have an albergue, you can click on the link for their Facebook page and message or call them. So, @Tezza and anyone else in your footsteps, there ARE options. When we walked in 2019, there was a HUGE signpost directing you to the TeleClub albergue. You can see this photo on my website page, I linked to above.

Buen Camino!

Great to have this information Elle, thanks for sharing!

I stayed at the Casa del Tio Quico in Granja de Moreruela in 2019.( 695 260 905) I attempted to book it ahead but they did not respond to my email. However, I had no problem getting a booking when I arrived.
