Good news! But it doesn’t look like Ángel is handling the registration as you need to check in at the Ayuntamiento Pola de Gordón.

FINALLY!!!! Any news on La Robla or Pola de Gordón? One step at a time…..

Good news but I’m sure this little nugget will catch some people out:

you need to check in at the Ayuntamiento Pola de Gordón.

True. But really if one pilgrim manages to get the door open the rest will just let themselves in. It too dissimilar from Escamplero, apart from a much bigger distance between checkin and albergue.

Pity the check in end time is so early, I would never want to stop that early.

It's a further 5.5km to the albergue from the place where you check in.

I prefer not to walk past about 3pm, FWIW.

that is good news.

but does it mean it is also open if there is only one pilgrim in the albergue?

I am asking because in the first half of july the albergue was technically open - if there was more then one pilgrim or if you could hound down the right person in buiza (not an old guy but a young girl). I met an american peregrino who was lucky and slept inside and a hungarian peregrina who was not lucky and had to sleep outside on the porch.
