Albergue Myway

The MyWay Albergue de Peregrinos sits on Calle San Marcos in Astorga, a town that has served pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago for over a thousand years. Astorga itself is worth a day of exploration: it holds a striking Episcopal Palace designed by Antoni Gaudí, a Roman-era history as the settlement of Asturica Augusta, and a cathedral that took centuries to complete.

For pilgrims arriving after long days on the Meseta or descending from the hills before it, MyWay offers a step up from typical albergue conditions. Private bathrooms and air-conditioning are genuine comforts in a category where they are far from standard. The hostel also has a restaurant and bar with options for special dietary needs, outdoor terrace and picnic areas, and a seasonal swimming pool, which makes it a practical choice for anyone wanting to rest properly before tackling the route toward the mountains of O Cebreiro.

The location on Calle San Marcos keeps pilgrims close to the historic center and within easy walking distance of the cathedral and Gaudí palace, so there is no need to sacrifice sightseeing for a comfortable bed.
