Albergue Aves de Paso sold

LTfit · Aug 1, 2022

Just finished a Dutch article about Anna Visser, a Dutch woman who after losing her husband walked the Camino Portugues. Upon returning home she Googled "albergues for sale Camino de Santiago". Long story short, she is now the new owner of Albergue Aves de Paso in Pendueles on the Camino de Norte. This must have transpired quite recently as I had contact with Javi the previous owner when I walked the Norte last month (albergue was closed).

She is planning on continuing the donativo tradition. There is no mention when she plans to open up as she is currently in the process of moving.

Good luck to her!

Albergue Aves de Paso is one of the more delightful small private albergues on the del Norte. It is great to hear Anna Visser will continue its tradition. Buen Camino

Hi, I am starting the del Norte route Sept 4 - so am excited to hear this. While I know it may not yet be open, if it is I shall endeavor to stop there! Where exactly is Pendueles please?

Pendules is between Colombres and Llanes. There is a very scenic route variation along the cliffs with a blow hole (if the tide is right) which leads to Pendules. Check Gronze.com.

Aves de Paso is on the left of the Camino, down hill side. The Bufones de Arenillas are 5 km further on. You cross the railroad tracks to get to them. Even if the wave surge is not producing the spray shooting up you can still hear the Bufones murmering with each wave way down below. Ghost like. Buen Camino

I paid Anna a visit some weeks ago as I am a Dutch pelegrina and I also read the interview. Her plan is to open in spring 2023. I stayed in Casa Flor in Pendueles but wouldn’t recommend it. The other albergue seems to be a better place to stay. Buen Camino!

Agree with your opinion about Casa Flor. Stayed there in July as all else was closed.

good luck Anna with the opening of your albergue. I am sure pilgrims will feel very welcome and before you know it your albergue will be top rated

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...

Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide...

Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the...

Are supermercados or other grocery stores open on Sundays on del Norte? Are restaurants open? Specifically, I will likely find myself in these towns on Sundays: Castro-Urdiales, Comillas...

I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...

I’m on day 2 of the CDN and I’m just blown away by the views. Day 1 Irun to San Sebastián, day 2 San Sebastián to Askizu Buen Camino
