Pilgrim Insight

Albergue Municipal La Casa del Peregrino offers a very reliable and practical stop at the gateway to the mountainous stage ahead. Pilgrims often value its central location in Trabadelo—just as you finish the descent from Villafranca del Bierzo—making it an excellent night to rest before the climb begins.

The modest rate and laundry facilities are big pluses after long walking days. Many appreciate the friendly hospitaleros and the social atmosphere—especially around the bar area where fellow walkers gather. Because of its municipal status and limited beds, arriving early in the afternoon is wise to secure a spot. While the rooms are simple and dormitory-style (so expect basic shared bathrooms and bunk beds), the albergue delivers good value and a genuine Camino stop.
