Castrojeriz

Die Ruinen des Klosters und Pilgerhospitals von San Antón sind ein wunderschöner Ort, der den Camino zu umarmen scheint und dessen Torbogen den Weg selbst überspannt. Von dem einst weitläufigen Komplex ist nur noch wenig übrig.

Die Albergue hier hat nie bessere Tage gesehen und ein engagiertes Team von freiwilligen Hospitaleros sorgt dafür, dass der Ort so traditionell bleibt, wie man es erwarten kann.

Die Nischen im Torbogen, die früher von den Mönchen genutzt wurden, um den spät ankommenden Pilgern Essen zu bringen, sind heute ein beliebter Ort, um schriftliche Nachrichten zu hinterlassen.

I am staying here (18.09.2024)-it’s open, magical (and no one is wearing helmets!) (reference to an earlier comment)

Stay here if you get the chance. Joseph the volunteer on site was so accommodating and even let us in early due to the heat. The pilgrim meal was lovely. Check in is at 2.30 pm so be aware if you arrive too early. Take coins for the vending machine to get any drinks. No power or hot water was available

Definitely open! I stayed here last night. Incredible, absolutely worth the extra 5kms. Of the 12 beds, there were 6 of us. I am a slow walker and didn’t arrive until just after 3pm and I was still only 4th of 6 :) two course meal, breakfast, incredible site, gracious hosts. A highlight of my Camino! There is no way to contact the hosts (even email, no reply) so no reservations.

My parents had recommended this place from their stay on the Camino, so I was so excited to see it is open!

I was very sad when they announced that both the albergue and the ruin will be closed from May 1 2024, due to lack of funding and safety reasons.
I see in the news that people have to wear protective helmets to walk underneath the arches.
This has been one of my favourite spot on Camino. I hope they will find a solution very soon.

Sleeping in ruins is undoubtedly a unique experience...
There is one room with 12 beds.
No hot water and very little cold water... no electricity, no WiFi. Cooking all together.
But! A very quiet and spiritual place.
All for donations.

A really great night. Beautiful, peaceful setting, great hospitality, shared meal, comfortable beds. This will be a highlight of your camino.

I was there at 16/17 october. It was the last night of the season, by now it's closed.

I left with a very strange feeling from here. It's a donativo, but the owner strongly incites you to give at least 15€. That's a lot for just a bed, a very simple meal and a small breakfast. I am fine with no electricity but not with no water in the shower at all (read, not even cold water). And I am not fine with asking for that amount of money for a subpar experience.
