- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2009, 2014, 2017, 2024
Hi everyone,
Pilgrim House Welcome Center opened today for 2022!
As always, the team would love to meet you (or see you again!) and offer resources to meet some of the needs you have when finishing the Camino. The Camino can be an emotional and spiritual journey, and Pilgrim House is designed to be a place of hospitality where you can engage with whatever has been stirring in your heart during your pilgrimage. We also offer a variety of practical services that recently-arrived pilgrims often need.
The address is Rua Nova, 19, Santiago de Compostela, just a couple blocks behind the Cathedral. Please note we're located under some arches and can be hard to see. On either side of us are the Cervezería Rua Bella and the Teatro Principal.
Our hours are:
Monday: 10am - 6pm
Tuesday: 10am - 6pm
Wednesday: Closed for meetings
Thursday: 10am - 6pm
Friday: 10am - 6pm
Saturday: 10am - 6pm
Sunday: Closed for rest
Whatever you find you need - and even if you don't need anything - please do come by and say hello, make yourself at home, and check out the resources on offer:
* There is a living room area and a kitchenette if you need to sit and hang out for a bit.
* Staff are always available to talk if you need a listening ear.
* Join a Camino Debrief at 4pm if you'd like to reflect on your pilgrimage with other pilgrims. A staff member facilitates discussion.
* Take a 1-page journaling/ debriefing guide home with you. We have them available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Korean, Chinese, and several other languages! (There's something for everyone!
)
* The back room and patio are places for solitude, reading, and journaling. If you need time away from the hustle and bustle of Santiago, these quiet spaces are for you.
* A curated library. Read these books at your leisure in Pilgrim House, and if you'll be in town for a few days, you can borrow a book for a small deposit. There are pilgrimage-related books, modern classics and classic classics.
As before we provide laundry services, boarding pass printing, and daily backpack storage on a suggested-donation basis. These services need to be requested in person. (Please do not send your pack to us by mail or transport service, as we may not be able to locate you before we close for the day.)
To be clear, Pilgrim House is only open during the day (we don't have beds) and is a non-profit, non-commercial initiative.
And @SYates is another resource pilgrims can turn to if they need help or have questions about Santiago. Please find her contact information here: http://egeria.house/contact/
Buen Camino if you're preparing to go out on the trail this year! See you soon!
