Notice

Cuando el camino regresa a la N-634 las cosas se ponen un poco confusas. Hay dos rutas aquí, una que sigue el camino hasta Buelna y más allá y una alternativa que sigue la costa. La segunda ruta es la opción preferida por su seguridad y paisaje, pero puede ser difícil de localizar.

Para seguir la ruta costera cruce la N-634 cuando llegue a ella y gire a la izquierda para seguirla hacia Buelna. El apagado es casi inmediato y las flechas para mostrar el camino con frecuencia están cubiertas con pintura negra, así que busque una flecha amarilla o un lío de pintura negra. A su derecha hay un pequeño camino que cruza la línea ferroviaria. Sigue este sendero y te llevará a Buelna.

The Road

El desvío está a la izquierda, recuerde que en Asturias los símbolos de la concha están típicamente orientados de tal manera que la "bisagra" del símbolo representa a Santiago.

El albergue está por esta carretera lateral a poca distancia. Más allá de él, el camino desciende y luego se gira a la derecha, cruza cuesta arriba a través de algunos bosques y luego zigzags de vuelta a la N-634. Véase el aviso a continuación.

We are staying there tonight. There are now at least 30 beds. However, upstairs there are 18 beds but only one bathroom (shower and toilet). Downstairs (which is a separate entrance to the building) there are the rest of the beds and two bathrooms (shower and toilet combined).

There was a bit of a queue for the bathroom upstairs so we went downstairs. All well and good. Not quite sure what it’s going to be like in the morning when there are 15-odd people trying to use one toilet and bathroom upstairs.

There is a pilgrim dinner (we didn’t have it) and breakfast is included for 18€.

Addition to my former comment: The host doesn't speak English but with Google Translate everything worked out fine. Vegetarian dinner option available upon request.

I agree with the comments below, Triskel is a nice place with nice owner and reasonable pricing. I think they have 17 beds by now.

Not in this app, but you can find it on Google Maps or in the Buen Camino app. Very good, open until 22h, so you can do a lot of km before. 18€ with breakfast included. Two rooms with 3-3 bunk beds and multiple bathrooms. There is a dinner option for 8€.

Terrific private Abergue in refurbished home. The owner can’t do enough to help pilgrims. Full facilities in a variety of shared rooms. Feels like being at home. Reasonable additional fee for dinner cooked by owner. Self service breakfast is free. Not to be missed ! Nice local restaurant/bar just up the street. Only 12 beds so call ahead

Super, clean, beautiful and new Alberge. 15 €, dinner 5 €. One of the top ones I have been during Camino. Awesome hospitalero. The Alberge which is on the way, like 300 m closer then the Alberge showed on the map. Totally recommended! Oskar, Prague.

Stayed here last night - very welcoming, kind hosts. 10 minute walk from the beach, and with an option for dinner (5 euro). Price is 15 and includes breakfast with homemade cake. A nice alternative to the big albergue in colombres. Gracias, Reyes!
