New albergue in Rubiaes

The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
I've checked this Albergue last week. It's nice and comfy. I didn't stayed there because I had already unpacked everything on the Public one (which works in donation method), and I didn't wanted to spend 15€ for one night.

Also, it has a salamander heating system, which is a killer for my lung problems.

But hey, 15€ includes breakfast, soup and a nice comfy place. If I didn't have money counted, I would go for it.

Best Regards
Diogo
 
Hi Diogo,

how you find the offical aubergue? last month it was very dirty and full of mouldiness, did they cleaned up?

Buen camino

Olaf

When we got there, they were still finishing cleaning it. You know, that's the problem with the Albergues that work with donation method. I left there the 6€ that an Albergue costs in Galicia, but I've seen people staying in there without paying a cent! The Albergue has to be clean, has water, electricity and heating to pay, and sometimes, pilgrims don't understand that.

That, and leave everything clean for the next ones.

Because of this kind of mentality, the "It's ok, we can cover this with trash, that the Hospitaleiros will clean", the guy's from the Xunta want to remove kitchens (ceramic and normal stoves, dishes, spoons, knives, forks, casseroles, etc, etc) from Albergues, and put only microwaves to work.

Let's see what will happen.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Thanx for your fast repley Diogo,

that time i was there, there was no trash. The probleme was the heavy mouldiness cause of the long wet winter. To stay there was horrible cause of the mould. Did they refurbish it?

kind regards
Olaf

Olaf, I'm a guy with lung problems, and I can't even be a cm near mold. I didn't have any respiratory problem that night. They where dehumidifying everything, and mattresses where cleaned with steam machines.
 
We stayed at the new albergue Ninho a few days ago. It was very clean and very nice. It was a little cold since it is heated with a wood fireplace and we let it go out in the night. However there were plenty of thick comforters and blankets so we slept well. Maria, the owners mother cooked is dinner for 5 euro each. She also served her homemade vino. There was plenty of hot water for the showers too.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
How to find Ninho? Is it near the municipal? I am going to Rubiaes tomorrow.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
