Accommodation on the Salvador — May 2021

[peregrina2000]

Just chatted with Cuñarro/Ender about the Salvador. He says it can be walked “sin problema” but the public albergues are closed. He suggests:

La Robla Pensión Mundo 25€

Poladura El Embrujo precio peregrino 15 € (that’s a steal!)

Llanos de Somerón Albergue el Cascoxu 20€ desayuno incluído — that’s a new one to me.

Pola de Lena and Mieres lots of places from 25€

Would love to hear back from anyone who’s planning to go soon! He also says ”his mountains” are beautiful these days!

I spent the afternoon contacting accommodations along the Salvador and Primitivo and received information from Spanish pilgrims starting out this week. They all confirmed the above information.

Sandra in Bendueños said that she will open up on June 8th but suggested that I stay with her friend Pablo in Llanos de Somerón. It´s the new albergue mentioned above.

Also a heads-up that the Albergue de Peregrinos in Oviedo is open and accepts reservations info@caminosantiagoastur.com.

I'll post if I find out anything else.

so despite the price of private accommodation, it would be a restful Camino. Actually, 15E and 20E is very good.

And here are some more possibilites for those doing the stages León - Pola de Gordon and Pola de Gordon - Pájares.

Pola de Gordon:
Pensión 15 de Mayo (tel 0034 619 444 000): 20 euros and
Mesón de Miguel 20 euros (tel 0034 987 588 303) 20 euros

Pájares:
Pension el Mirador (tel 0034636 933069) 30 eurod
Posada Real de Pájares (tel 0034 600 330) 45 euros individual, 60 euros double

As you can see, one walking now will need to budget a major increase if you are used to staying in municipal albergues.

Two more options open now with pilgrim prices.

In Pola de Lena
— Hostal Payeta 20€, room with bath, bkfts included in the bar down the street.

— Hotel Lena 35€
Buen camino to all you lucky ones heading out soon. Laurie

Just to add — I called the Payeta to make a reservation for a friend, and she thought I was calling to reserve for tonight. “Sorry but we are full” was her response.

So if you are going to walk this camino, or any other for that matter, I think reservations are a good idea these days. Kind of a bummer, but it seems to be the reality.
