Medina de Rioseca albergue closed indefinitely ...... and then reopened!

A few and hopefully lots more.
The convent albergue closed yesterday - it doesn't look as though it will reopen any time soon.

I saw this notice on the Camino Mendocino facebook page:
'Albergue del peregrino del monasterio de Santa Clara en Medina de Rioseco, permanecerá cerrado apartir del dia 31/03/2019 indefinidamente.
Disculpen las molestias'


It's a pity that last year's reopening didn't work out.

EDIT! - 8 April 2019
It seems that the albergue has reopened. See post #5 below.

Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Oh that is very sad. Very sad that the original sisters left - after more than 500 years. It was great that the Brazilian group came so quickly. I wonder have they gone, or just closed the albergue? I still feel privileged to have been one of the very last to stay, a week before the Poor Clares left...

Thanks for the info Nuala,
Buen Camino judy.
 
A week after the albergue closed 'indefinitely', it seems to have reopened!

'El Albergue del Peregrino de Medina de Rioseco vuelve a estar abierto.
(Nuevos Cambios)
-Precio: La voluntad lo que el corazón de cada persona quiera aportar.( No se deja de acoger al peregrino por no poder aportar ningún dinero.)
-No se Admiten reservas.
-Se pediran documentos de identidad y credencial.
Gracias por su atención'.


Hopefully good news for @jungleboy, @marjude, @RedBike @LesBrass and others passing this way soon.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
