Last time I walked I stayed in Fromista then was sorry I didnt continue a little further to Albergue La Finca. I’m planning my next camino in April thought I would stay there this time, however their website says “closed permanently” Does anyone know if that is true? Thanks Dee

Their website hasn't been functioning for a couple of years now, but I believe that it has been open in the last year. Gronze shows it as temporarily closed, but their comments section has reviews posted in 2022.
I hope that it reopens - it's one of my favorite albergues on the Francés.

I've messaged them on Facebook - hopefully they will get back to me.

One of my favorites, as well. So sorry to think it might be permanently closed.

My husband stayed there fall 2021. It showed open on the winter camino website earlier this fall.

Especially after they added the second albergue building.

That's very disappointing. I stayed in 2019 and I've lost count of the number of people I recommended it to.
