New albergue in the heart of Santiago

[JohnnieWalker]

Hola

Within the last few days a new albergue has opened in the very heart of Santiago. The Last Stamp Albergue is in the Rua Preguntorio just a few metres from the Plaza Cervantes and the restaurant Casa Manolo.

They take reservations by telephone and e mail.

Shouldn't it be called "El penultimo sello" ? :lol:

From the website in Spanish

el último sello

I checked out their website and it does truly look gorgeous. Wish I had the kind of money which must have been needed to put this together!
Of course, Santiago is not "The Last Sello" for many people, and for some lucky ones who make it to Muxia, there is another one waiting.....
Where, really is The End of the Camino..? Well, it´s in your heart, of course.

Looks very pretty-but no price list and no Drinking :shock:
so not for me.

I noticed this place yesterday when walking past. I phoned them today. 15€ per bed per night in low season. 25€ (!!!) per bed per night in Semana Santa and they will announce high season prices in due course. They were very vague when I asked it it was exclusively for pilgrims - I suspect being a private enterprise anyone who pays will get in. I'd stick with the pilgrim beds in San Martin Pinario myself.

Ah yes...probably they are grateful for the free advertising though. Pity essentials not checked before posting here. 25 euros in Semana Santa...that is called opportunism! Doesn´t sound like pilgrim run to me. And here Foxy House and I are just trying to get by on pilgrim donations (and I include food and wine too!)

There are a number of albergues in Santiago all of varying price. In terms of those right in the centre:

Roots and Boots http://www.rootsandboots.es/

Seminario Menor: http://www.alberguesdelcamino.com/ (which is privately owned and you can also book their albergue in Sarria on their website.

There are also a lot of smaller albergues - ask in the tourist office for a list.
