Plans have been announced for the construction of a new albergue in Santander. The government will pay for the construction, and the church will manage it.
Location is Calle Limón, 7, very close to the cathedral. 48 beds! Construction will begin this summer, after an older building, owned by the church, is demolished.
Any time I post something about the city of Santander, I can’t help but encourage pilgrims to try the beautiful, but longer coastal route. Lots of forum discussion of this alternative. Some walk all the way to Boo in one day, some take a bus to a good starting point, cutting off 5 or 6 km of city walking, and some stop in a casa rural that will let you break it up. I’ve never heard anyone rave about the day out of Santander on the official route, and I have never heard anyone NOT rave about the route along the coast.
Buen camino, Laurie
