Albergue Santa Marina in Buelna

Overview

Albergue Santa Marina in Buelna is a private albergue offering accommodation for pilgrims on the Camino del Norte. Opened in 2013 and under new management since 2019, it sits directly on the Camino route in the small coastal village of Buelna, eastern Asturias. It features 68 beds across private double, triple, quad, and family rooms — all with private bathrooms — plus a bar-restaurant, terrace, and free private parking.

Conveniently located 5 minutes’ walk from Playa de Buelna and 15 minutes from the spectacular inland beach of Cobijeru, the albergue puts two of Asturias’s most unusual coastal features within easy reach. Llanes town centre lies just 5 minutes away by car.

Pilgrim Insight

Albergue Santa Marina is unusual on the Camino del Norte — it has no shared dormitories, only private rooms with en suite bathrooms, at albergue prices. Host Eva María and her team create a warm, family atmosphere in the converted roadside building, and the bar-restaurant serves traditional Asturian food including excellent local grilled meats. Furthermore, the private room format makes it an ideal choice for couples or small groups walking the Way of St. James together.

Note: the albergue opens from 1 March to 31 October — always check in advance. Additionally, check-in is from 14:00 to 21:00 and advance booking is strongly recommended in summer.
