I saw something about it being closed because of issues with the safety of the ruins. It was more than just the albergue--even going in to the ruins was off limits.It is open until the hospitalero decides to move on. Then it will close until a new one can be found. It was always that way.
Yes, that was the story I saw too. The whole complex was off limits. I figured it would be closed for a good while.I saw something about it being closed because of issues with the safety of the ruins. It was more than just the albergue--even going in to the ruins was off limits.
Thank you! Great news.Last notice was that it is open. Reopened after the safety issue.
My wife and I will be passing by there in October. What other unique places are you referring to?It is currently definitely open. If it isn't by the time you get there though there are a couple of other places that are very unique in a similar way and in the near vicinity.
Albergue de San Nicolas is run by Italians and is worth a stay. It also has no electricity except in the bathrooms, which are in a separate building out back. There are a limited number of beds so better to plan on getting there earlier when they open.My wife and I will be passing by there in October. What other unique places are you referring to?

Or just do the old-fashioned thing and go with the flow. Maybe it'll be open, maybe not. In any event neither Hornillos nor Castrojerez are far away, chock-full of accommodation for walkers.Same here, I would suggest you have a backup plan.
I have a friend who was serving as a hospitalera in the first half of June 2024 so the situation changes.Hola
The various replies dont give dates - so are of dubious value
I passed by in May 2024 - definitely closed because of safety issues - there is a Notice on the fence explaining that the local Council wouldnt come to the party with any funding, so they had to close, in interests of safety of visitors
SO - pass on by...

One of them was as mentioned above:My wife and I will be passing by there in October. What other unique places are you referring to?
And the other is:Albergue de San Nicolas is run by Italians and is worth a stay.
Some donativos (usually the private ones) take reservationsYou can’t reserve any of the donations

Yes. Great choices. Stayed in both Hontanas and Castrojeriz a few weeks ago. Two of my favorite Camino hamlets.One of them was as mentioned above:
And the other is:
I've not stayed in either, but when walking past them they were definitely places that looked amazing for different reasons. Hontanas and Castrojeriz either side of St Anton are also beautiful villages and must be wonderful to stay in.
Spolit for choice!
