New albergue in Santander

[peregrina2000]

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

Does this mean that the municipal (also very central) will be closing? It was quite cramped the two times I stayed there but found the location very good.

Muchas Gracias Laurie. Santander itself is beautiful and a great base to spend a day.

There is nothing to rave about - it is quite awful. I think for next year's planning I will sit down with your list Thank you, Laurie!

It was/is a death trap

Laurie - I plan to start a 2-week walk on del Norte in mid-September, starting in Santander. I will walk the coastal route and most likely stay at the casa rural in Soto de la Marina (I will be doing approximately 15 km days at that point). What is the food situation in that 33 km section between Santander and Boo? Are there other lodging options in that section? Thanks, Tim

I walked the coast out of Santander and stopped a little farther in Liencres, where I stayed at a hotel called Calad de Liencres. My Wikiloc tracks said that it was about 27 km for that day. The following day to Santillana del Mar was also about 27km. There were a couple of places to stop to eat along the way to Liencres.

I posted on a couple of threads at the time.
