Padrón

Herbón mit dem Kloster und der Albergue könnten nicht besser geeignet sein für einen friedliche entspannten Besinnung vor dem letzten Wandertag nach Santiago.

Es bedeutet eine Abweichung von den gelben Pfeilen des Camino, aber man kann sich vorstellen, dass es schon immer ein wichtiger Haltepunkt für PilgerInnen war. 

Die Albergue wird von der Asociación Galega de Amigos do Camiño de Santiago betrieben und ist einer der wenigen mit einem kommunalen Abendessen für alle PilgerInnen.

Wegbeschreibung

Um dorthin zu gelangen, folgen Sie einfach den roten Herbón-Pfeilen. Es sind 3,1 km, aber Sie müssen danach nicht zurückgehen, um nach Padrón zu gelangen, da es Pfeile gibt, die Sie direkt in die Innenstadt bringen, eine Entfernung von 2,5 km.

Le monastère d'Herbon vaut le détour. Une visite guidée du site, une messe, un repas préparé pour tous ensemble, des chambres à deux lits, le déjeuner de base, le tout pour donativio et présenté avec respect et conviction. Une expérience inoubliable.

Just over the bridge and to your left this little restaurant was horrible. Pretty much refused to serve me because I didn’t speak Spanish, after trying to converse in the little Spanish I know mixed with lots of hand gestures.

He pretty much threw the menu at me, had a laugh in Spanish with the other pilgrim and ignored me after that.

Next door at cafe bar obradoiro the lady was lovely and patient and so I highly recommend if stopping here

We seated here in June ‘22 and really enjoyed it. It’s a bit off the main route but worth the extra few km. Each cell of 2 bunks is separated from the windowed corridor by a curtain and feels lovely and private. The meals are communal and everyone helps clean up afterwards. There is a free tour of the monastery (it’s not a working monastery any more) though it was quite long and we’d walked a long way that day, and pilgrims are invited to mass in the chapel and given a special blessing afterwards. The alarm in the morning was a lovely rendition of ‘ave Maria’ on the speakers.
Highly recommended

Could someone provide an updated comment regarding the cost per bunk per night. And their recent stay experience?

This is a diversion well worth the few extra kilometres the next day (or if you have an extra day). The facilities are basic but perfect (disposable bedsheet and pillow case provided) . Those who run the albergue are friendly, helpful and pretty funny even if you don’t speak Spanish. Definitely do the mass - there is a pilgrim’s blessing at the end. And a group dinner afterwards. Best experience on our Camino so far.

We arrived at 1:30 and had no troubles getting 2 beds. The grounds are beautiful and worth brining food for a picnic while you wait for the registration to open.

The place has been filling up by 1pm or 2pm in September, I’m sure in the high season could be sooner. You are not allowed to walk from Padrón to stay there as they feel you did not walk enough.
