Die etwas verwirrende Beschilderung durch Zabaldika ist das Ergebnis der Einmischung der lokalen Politik in die Tradition. In diesem Fall hat es das Ayuntamiento geschafft, die kulturell bedeutende Iglesia de San Esteban und den ursprünglichen Camino Francés zu übertrumpfen. Um dem ursprünglichen Weg zu folgen, biegst du in der Stadt rechts ab und hältst Ausschau nach den Schildern, die dich über die Hauptstraße und einen Pfad hinauf zur Kirche in der oberen Hälfte von Zabaldika führen. Es ist nicht nötig, deine Schritte zurückzuverfolgen, denn der andere Camino macht das Gleiche etwa 100 m weiter.

Stayed here 21st Sept 2024. I was keen to get there early as I read in previous posts that others got turned away when they came later. It was recommended by friends and I knew it was a must for me on this Camino. And I was not disappointed. It was one of the highlights of my walk. The sisters opened the alberguel a bit earlier as it had been raining with lots of wet pilgrims arriving. The church is magical and so old. Rang the bell and there was a beautiful service for pilgrims in the evening and, those who wanted, got to share their camino story and we were blessed and prayed for. Wonderful communal dinner and breakfast. Comfortable beds and I had my best sleep so far. Great sense of community and felt so cared for. Left feeling rested and refreshed in body, mind and spirit.

I got to ring the church bell in the steeple. The volunteers were lovely (only spoke Spanish). We attended mass on Saturday night which was a special experience. Highly recommend this place. We got lucky and only had 4 in our room. No reservations. We got a spot at 3:45, but others were turned away.

The sister welcomed us into the garden and church which was like a little oasis after the steep climb up the goat track and the busy past few days in Camino. The church was beautiful and we were invited to climb the stone spiral staircase to ring the bell to listen to the sound and to welcome pilgrims. Wonderful home cooked shared family meal with the other pilgrims by kind volunteer hospitaleros. Special highlight of Camino for me.

The hospitality was amazing! The hostel is superb, very clean, excellent bathrooms, great outdoor area, great area to do hand washing laundry and a wonderful meal was welcomed. Learning about the history of the attached church was an add bonus. I highly recommend staying here on the Frances, it is an authentic camino spiritual experience which I will treasure forever. I left feeling rejuvenated. Thank you to the sisters of the church and the great hospitaleras

Zabaldika is a lovely spot above the main camino. It's a short steep climb, but worth it if the church is open. You will be met by a sister who will provide information about the church in your language, as well as a pilgrim blessing sheet for you to keep. You can also climb the tower and ring the bell to announce your arrival!

The route continues above the road, through wild flowers (june) and fields before rejoining the main camino

Mathew 11 has one of Jesus’ most known quotes. “28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

This is a good context of what a pilgrim will find here. If this resonates with you… then come with an open heart. If you choose to share your story all the more blessings will be seen.

You will leave to continue your walk and your spiritual work.

Ultreia!

This is a wonderful place that is very spiritual with kind and patient volunteers who work there, the church and the nuns provide a peaceful and prayerful experience. It was our pleasure to be generous with our donation at this donativo albergue.

If you are disappointed with the last of genuine hospitality. This allergens will redeem it. The host and the hostess are both very sweet and genuine people. The place was cleaned and feels like a home. Meals were simple, but we all gathered around with joy. It was exactly what I needed. A sweet and simple place with warm hearted hosts.
