I have copied this text from the Facebook of Casa Susi it shows some of the difficulties Albergues are having.
..............................
We are feeling incredibly disheartened by the camino situation
We are sharing photos of our sleeping area to highlight why we can’t open.
The conversation with Turismo today was this
‘We are in the province of Castilla y León. What are the rules we must follow?’
‘In one communal space(regardless of size) only people from the same household at 1/3 capacity’
‘So one single person can only stay in the space if we don’t have a family of a maximum of four people?’
‘Yes’.....
It’s impossible for us to open.How can we survive another year?
Other regions have different rules.
Galicia is more flexible.
30% capacity but they don’t need to be from the same household. We are 15km from Galicia.
I am unsure that the convent in León with 135 beds & 4 dormitories will only take 4 single pilgrims or 4 families..........
I feel very sad that we continue to be closed.
Pilgrims planning to come to the camino please check regional restrictions.
Galicia rules are very different to other regions.
