The City Council of A Pobra do Brollón has just acquired a building to house a pilgrims' hostel. After the approval of the purchase proposal in the municipal plenary last Friday, it was formalized at the beginning of this week. The funds for the acquisition come from a subsidy from the Xunta de Galicia.
The building is located in the Plaza de la Condesa in the center of the capital of A Pobra do Brollón, a few meters from the Camiño do Inverno.
“The hostel project allows us to strengthen the local economy through tourism by providing the necessary infrastructure for the path,” declared Mayor Xosé Lois Maceda.
He also commented that the location of the future hostel is part of a “long-term strategy to revalue and beautify the historic center” of the town.
Currently the closest hostel on the Winter Way is in Quiroga, approximately 22 kilometers from A Pobra do Brollón. The hostel project aims to fill an infrastructure gap on the way, which for now has been filled with a provisional solidarity hostel installed since 2018 in the municipal sports center.
