Alberque la posada de dorra urraca

I would be grateful for any information on this Albergue which the website http://www.mundicamino.com says is in Caldas de Reis. If anyone has stayed there or has any information please let me know.

Hi, i was on the portugues way in august and have a night in Posada Dona Urraca in Caldas de Rei.
It's not a Xunta albergue, and it's as little less than the albergue standard in Galicia but it's the only albergue in Caldas. It's on the camino in a small plaza close to a roman bridge.
Hope i was helpful
Buen camino

Thanks Daniele nobody seems to know about this Alberque which I think is the only one in Caldas de Rei. You say it was a little less than normal standard but was it ok?

We were on the CP three weeks ago. Yes, this alberque is open in Caldas de Reis--when you cross the Roman bridge (there is a huge willow tree to your left), look back through the willow and you will see the alberque door. It is not well marked. It is pretty basic with a combination of bunks and mattresses on the floor. A open plywood "wall" separates the entrance area from sleeping area so when you come in the door, you can see the bunks. We ended up not staying here but others did. They slept on mattresses on the floor and said that it was noisy but OK. Not the best but not the worst either. There are lots of bars/cafes in the immediate area so it is well located. Bom Caminho!

Thanks for that information this Albergue does not seem to appear in any of the guides. It is in a useful position and will give us some alternatives. I am very grateful to you both and if we stay there I will make sure I leave some comments on this discussion board
