Albergue In Muros De Nalon

[maxsdyke]

Hi, I am embarking on my first camino tomorrow and have been searching for some albergues to stay in. I will be doing the Camino del Norte and will be starting in Gijon. I am looking in Muros de Nalon and found one that is the Falis Albergue. I have tried to call them, but they haven't picked up and I was wondering if anyone had other recommendations for the area. Thank you!

I don't see an albergue bynthst name on the Gronze page for Muros de Nalón.

Muros de Nalón, Asturias | Albergues y Hoteles | Gronze.com

I recommend sending a message via Whatsapp

Google says they are temporarily closed, which would explain why they don’t appear on Gronze.


I stayed in Casa Carmina and liked it very much. This was the place one of the grandmothers in the family had had a store. There was some Cuban connection, though I can’t remember what it was, but I do remember that they had some Cuban recipes on the menu. @El Cascayal, have you stayed there?

The great thing about staying in Muros de Nalón is that it is easy to take an afternoon bus to visit Cudillero, a really beautiful (if touristy) little former fishing village turned tourist magnet.

I agree. Casa de Carmina is a great albergue. Very nice people. I was there twice. In 2018, I detoured a couple kilometers off the Camino to see Cudillero. It’s so pretty. It’s down a VERY steep road to get to the harbor area. I taxied back up to reconnect with the Camino. In 2019, I did the same, but splurged on a hotel room down at the harbor and stayed overnight. Either way, Cudillero is worth a visit, especially if it’s a sunny day. Those who live there must have legs of STEEL!

I stayed at Casa Carmina in 2022. Nice people. Good food. Nice facilities. But they wanted you to give a 5€ deposit for a key to a locker. The staff did not start work until 8 am. Since there were some early risers in the albergue I left before 8am and did not get my deposit back. Not the worst thing in the world. But I didn’t really need the locker.

I also had a great stay at Fali’s in 2019. I hope they re-open.

I can confirm that Fali’s is closed.

Great, I am walking there in July and planned to stay there. Good to hear!

I am in Muros de Nalòn now and staying at Camino de la Costa Albergue. They don't take bookings and definitely no english but I had no trouble getting a bed and others here too. Make sure you arrive b4 2pm.
The one you were trying to contact are closed temporarily. I passed Casa Camina you may like to try them
Buen Camino.

In late April 2023 we took the bus to Cudillero for a large part of the day, then walked from there to Soto de Luna and stayed at Hostal Paulina where we had a reservation. The side trip to Cudillero was one of the highlights of this half of the Norte for me.

Ok, this is odd because I just called Fali’s and spoke with Michael Ginter to book a bed for tomorrow night. As have a couple of other pilgrims…

Very interesting. I wonder if Rafael sold it or is letting it out to Michael. In either case I will get in touch with them and update the app!

Yeah, very weird. This is the response I got from Raphael on 30 January: "Hi David! I think my albergue will stay closed this year! Greetings Raphael." Still, would be great to have it open again.

 

[wisepilgrim]

So I have the scoop. Rafael has rented the albergue to Michael from Germany. It reopened on the 1st of June and closes the 11th of October this year. 18€.

Everything else remains the same, including a donativo group dinner.

I’ll report back on tomorrow night’s experience. Excitingly, the dinner seems to be barbeque!

Reporting back as promised. Raphael is actually here for a few days to show Michael the ropes, and helped him with the barbecue dinner last night. I don’t eat a lot of meat, but it was all very good. As well as barbecued meats, there was a nice salad, a grilled cheese, and baked potatoes.

You’re asked whether you want to join in on the communal dinner when you check in - 10€ plus 2 for wine if you wanted it.

Ad hoc beers etc on a 1€ per item basis using the donation box.
