Are you referring to the village of El Ganso?

Then no the Albergue Gabino is still closed. The Gronze website is normally very well up to date.

Just east of El Ganso in Santa Catalina de Somoza you might enjoy the hospederia San Blas which is listed here in Gronze as open.
During earlier years I stayed there often and enjoyed it.

They were open in the fall so perhaps they are just waiting a bit longer.

Yes!!! - However, not answering phone or emails (and Gronze says closed), so was hoping for a real-time "I stayed there last night" kind of answer. Really appreciate everyone's input!!! Thank you!

I am sending an WhatsApp so will report back. I know they have an albergue and the parents own a little store and some apartments. I've stayed there once in the apartments and my husband stayed in the albergue last fall.

I got a reply yesterday stating that San Blas is closed

May be too late for you, but I got a WhatsApp text back that says they are open.

Super! Thank you so much!!! I will pass it along : )
Update: My sister was able to reach them to confirm - and yes, they are open! Thanks everyone!

Will be walking by there tomorrow…good to know they are open. We usually stop there for a cup of tea and a snack! We stayed there once. They had three apartments, two on the entrance level and bigger apartment upstairs. Lovely people.

Phil stayed at the albergue last fall and did not enjoy the meal. He is not vegetarian and I think the meal was vegetarian and perhaps not as plentiful as he wanted. The albergue dorms were spacious and there were not a lot of other pilgrims when he was there. When he got to Foncebaden the next day it was the beginning of a Spanish holiday. Many Spanish tour buses and he got the last bed in town at the donativo. His backup plan was to cab back to El Ganso for a second night for a bed if needed.

We stayed in an apartment in El Ganso in 2016 when Phil had a bad cold on the Camino. I was able to buy some stuff to make chicken soup in the little apartment kitchen. The rate for the apartment was pricey, but worth it since we both slept well and had comfort food. The owner of the tienda gave him some "ginger" hard candies since there was no cold medicine available for purchase in town.

I'll let my sis know - she is vegetarian so will be delighted if it is : )

Ask her if the Cowboy Bar is open when she is there? It was closed when my husband walked through last October.

A pilgrim on another thread says he is staying there tonight and it is still 10 Euros per his report.

Passed by the Albergue Gambino today. It is located on the right side of the main road as you exit the town. Lots of pilgrims stopping in. Still two bedrooms on main floor. Light snacks, coffee,tea hot chocolate, fruit, cake etc. Bathroom!

J Willhaus · Apr 29, 2022

Yes those are the apartments I think next to the tienda. There is also an albergue with bunk rooms before yo arrive there. Used to be the Cowboy Bar and another Bar in the main part of town before you get to the store and apartments. We felt we had the best Patatas Bravas on the Camino at the Non-Cowboy bar.
