Run by the Trinitarian Order, this pilgrim-friendly albergue in Laredo's old town offers shared dormitories and single rooms, issues the Credential, and provides a communal kitchen, with meals available in summer.
Private Albergue
The Casa de la Trinidad is a pilgrim shelter run by the Trinitarian Order, a Catholic religious congregation founded in the twelfth century with roots in ransoming Christian captives held in North Africa. That history gives the place a depth that sets it apart from a standard hostel. The convent itself sits at the entrance to Laredo's old town, making it a natural stopping point for walkers arriving along the Camino del Norte or the Camino Lebaniego.
The accommodation is managed by the Trinitarian nuns who live and work on site. Rooms are arranged in shared dormitories with bunk beds and low beds, sleeping two or four people per room, with 42 places in total. Single rooms are also available at a modest additional cost. The community issues the pilgrim credential, and in summer they organize a communal dinner and breakfast, which gives the place a more personal, hospitable character than many pilgrim hostels along this stretch of coast.
Laredo itself is worth a look beyond the shelter. The old town rises above a long sandy beach on the eastern side of the Cantabrian coast, and the medieval quarter retains much of its original street plan. The church of Santa María de la Asunción, a short walk away, contains notable Gothic altarpieces and has been a landmark in the town since the thirteenth century.
