Albergue de Lorca

The Lorca Hostel sits right on Calle Mayor in the small village of Lorca, in the Valle de Yerri, along the Camino Francés in Navarre. The village of Lorca is a quiet stop that pilgrims often pass through between Estella and Villamayor de Monjardín, and having a well-positioned hostel here means walkers can break up that stretch without committing to a longer day.

The hostel is privately run and open from April through October. It offers 4-bed dormitories with bunk beds for twelve pilgrims in total, plus a private double room. While it welcomes non-pilgrims, it is clearly set up with walkers in mind. The kitchen is available to guests at no extra charge, which is useful given how few food options exist in a village this size. Breakfast is available, and there is a bar-restaurant serving a pilgrim menu at 15 euros. A washer and dryer are on site, as is a bicycle shelter for those doing the Camino by bike.

Check-in opens at 11:00 and the hostel closes at 23:00, with reservations accepted. For pilgrims wanting to avoid the larger, busier albergues in Estella, Lorca offers a genuinely quieter alternative in a rural Navarrese setting.
