A Pobra do Brollón already has a municipal hostel. The initiative arises as a resource for pilgrims on the Winter Way, but also for tourists and visitors in general.
This is an initiative of the A Pobra do Brollón City Council financed with its own funds, Agader funds and the Lugo Provincial Council. After renovating the space in the old school building and agreeing to grant management, the new hostel was inaugurated last Saturday in an event organized by its manager, Anabel Alves.
Mayor Xosé Lois Maceda highlights the importance of the hostel for the economic development of A Pobra do Brollón. “We are very pleased to finally have our own hostel,” says Maceda. “It will be a boost for the local economy through tourism, making it easier for A Pobra do Brollón to become the end of the Camino, but also creating a resource for anyone who wishes to visit our municipality.”.
The hostel is located on Avenida de Outeiro, next to the A Pobra do Brollón school, about 200 meters from the Winter Path. It has 36 places spread over two rooms; a living room with armchairs, tables, microwave and fridge; three toilets with showers (including an adapted toilet); a laundry and drying area, and an outdoor space with trees. There is also a point of sale of local products.
The price is €12 or €15 in high season, a price that includes bed linen and towels, and a hot drink the next day. For adults, breakfast, lunch and dinner are offered. In the near future, a bicycle rental service will be offered, as well as tourist and recreational activities.
The hostel's website will be available this week. Interested parties can also contact by phone (609490941), email (albergueapobradobrollon@gmail.com) or on Instagram (@albergueapobradobrollon).
