Itero de la Vega

La Ermita de San Nicolás, tout comme les ruines de San Anton avant Castrojeriz, a une longue histoire de prise en charge des pèlerins. Les deux se tiennent seuls loin des villes et, par conséquent, ils n'ont pas forcément la fréquentation qu'ils méritent. C'est peut-être mieux ainsi, car les pèlerins affirment souvent qu'il s'agit des albergues les plus mémorables le long du chemin.

The Road

Juste au-delà de la Ermita se trouve le Puente Fitero qui vous fait traverser la rivière du même nom, et entrer dans Palencia.

As of Oct 4, 2025. While humble accommodations, this is the very heart of the Camino.

I was hoping this donativo would be open after walking from Hornillos del Camino and I’m so glad I did! Warm greeting from the hospitaleros and beautiful candlelit dinner. We were fortunate enough to be there on the anniversary of the church’s restoration from ruins into an albergue so the president and architect were present (in their eighties!) to share the story. We all gathered after dinner to watch the full moon. A magical night.

An extraordinary community experience when you stay here. Everyone helps with dinner, and I certainly was not expecting to be fed at lunch and then again dinner time. A beautiful candlelit dinner was delicious and interactive with others.

We are staying here, Thursday May 29 2025!
I cannot say anything better than the previous comment, except: this albergue is still open, at least it is sometimes!

I was so sad that this place was closed on 24 May. I believe the Italian man who runs it is having difficulty getting there so it is hit and miss. If open I would suggest go with the experience

This tiny albergue has been a hospital and a church. Now it has 8beds on one side (some extra if needed), and the tabel and chapel on the other side. When it got dark we had to lit the candles!! They did a foot washing ceremony and I really felt their well wishes.

We made diner together and the
Very kind volenteer made us breakfast in the morning. Thank you!!!!!

Please stay at this Alburgue if spiritual experiences are in you list.
What an amazing two Italian gentlemen caring for us. From washing our feet, giving us a special blessing and sitting down with us for a special meal this is one of my Canino experiences I will treasure forever!

From the moment I walked into the beautiful monastery I felt like I was home . The welcome was so warm and friendly, felt so grateful they still had a bed . The beautiful Hospitaliers genuinely cared about us all and really wanted us to have a great evening. The meal was delicious , good wine . This Monastery is not for everyone, there is only electricity in the outside bathrooms, so if leaving the Albergue at night to go to the bathroom would be difficult, please be aware . If you are concerned about a leaf or two I your bedroom then maybe this wouldn’t suit you . If you need more than candlelight to be comfortable, then this isn’t the right place either .

I had one of my best experiences in the Camino so far and I started in SJPP. The moon woman who greeted me so friendly and gracious. They offered me a cup of coffee immediately. I wasn’t planning on staying, but they were so friendly but I decided this is where I wanted to stay the evening. They fed me two meals and everything in the candle light just seemed magical. The meals were simple but beautiful… And it was plenty of red wine.  call Hilder is no electricity in the Elberg itself, the shower area has plenty of natural light and hot water. If you ask, there is a place to charge your phones in the kitchen in the back building. They had a touching foot washing ceremony in the evening before dinner and pilgrims blessing as you walked out in the morning. Definitely one of the highlights of my Camino so far.

They do not speak much English, so it is helpful if you speak Spanish. After all, we are in Spain. Don’t be offended if there is a language barrier.
