Clara Campoamor pilgrim hostel in Requejada: historical archive
This page preserves the 2013 announcement about the opening of a pilgrims’ hostel in the Clara Campoamor building in Requejada. The original information announced an opening on 16 May and described two rooms with six beds each, a kitchen, toilets, showers, a camping area, opening hours from 10:00 to 20:00 and a price of five euros per night. These details are historical and do not confirm that the service is still operating.
What the announcement said
The initiative used rooms in a former medical clinic. The Town Council presented it as an expansion of accommodation for the Northern Way, alongside the facility that then existed in the nearby village of Mar. The announcement said that management had been awarded to the people running a local establishment for one year, with the possibility of an extension.
The news is useful for documenting a municipal decision and the use of a public building at a particular time. It is not a current directory: capacity, price, opening hours, management and the opening itself must each be checked independently before planning an overnight stay.
The municipal facility identified today
The municipal information consulted for this guide identifies the Regato de las Anguilas hostel in Mar. We have found no current confirmation that Clara Campoamor is still offering accommodation. Contact the Town Council directly to find out which service is available; do not arrive in Requejada expecting accommodation on the basis of information from 2013.
The current page for the Regato de las Anguilas hostel ES links to the municipal source for checking requirements, beds and conditions. You can also visit the page about Requejada ES to locate the railway station, harbour and other places in the village.
Plan the Camino with recent information
Pilgrim services may have limited capacity and their own rules: a pilgrim credential, advance registration or arrival before a set time may be required. Before setting out, check whether beds are available, what facilities are provided and which contact is currently in use. Do not assume that a price published more than a decade ago still applies.
The Northern Way crosses several settlements in Polanco. The route protected by heritage regulations and the signs used by walkers today may not match an old map. Check the current stage and follow the waymarks on the ground, especially near roads, railway lines and industrial areas.
