Most services are located on the N-630, which runs parallel to the camino two streets to the west (your left).

The Road

If you made your way to the N-630 while in Torremejía there is no need to retrace your steps. Follow it out of town and you will rejoin the camino which emerges from your right. If follows adjacent to the road before arrows and a bollard direct you towards a path on your right. It passes the Ence Mérida factory and heads straight to the outskirts of Mérida where the arrows are a bit unclear. When you emerge onto the road you will see ahead of you a bridge over the river; you need to follow the trail (not the road) which passes underneath that bridge. It leads directly to a small riverside park and at the end of the park is the pedestrian bridge over the río into Mérida.

Alles ok, propere albergue voor slechts 16 €. Stapelbedden, maar we konden allen beneden slapen. . Vriendelijke man. 👍

Other guidebooks have said that most people prefer to stay at Almendralejo. Having arrived in Torremejia, I can see why…

We booked 1 room with 4 beds in Alburgue Rojo de Plata on the phone with the male owner, but when we arrived the lady of the house would not allow it until the 12 bed dorm was filled, and then the 6 bed dorm to go.

When we went to Hostal Melenium advertising single beds, the receptionist was unfriendly and said it’s sold out except for $30 single rooms. Given there was availability on booking.com I booked a bed for €15 but she insisted that it was worth €20 and that I gave her €5 cash without a receipt. After 28kms walking from the crack of dawn in the heat of the sun, I was in no mood for extortion, so I rang booking.com. she then relented and told me to take the last bed upstairs.

We tried to get food and was told everything is shut, except a dry boccadilla with 2 small pieces of cheese and some jamon (no butter or oil) €4.50. Worst meal ever in Spain. And worst town ever on the Camino.

Sorry, I am being as fair as possible here.
Do yourself a favour and stay at Almendralejo.
Walk to Torrmejia is you must but take the bus back to Almendralejo and start from there to Merida the next day.

The person in charge was very lovely. However, I was a bit dissapointed with the place. For unknown reason I couldn’t take the bed in dormitory although later I saw it was completely empty. I was charged for the single room which I didn’t want in the first place and it wasn’t even cleaned after the previous people. I’m not sure what the situation was and maybe as I don’t speak Spanish there was some misunderstanding but I think it would be fair for someone to come and Clean or offer a discount instead of the full price.
