Con el fin de asistir a los peregrinos que franqueaban los Pirineos en su ruta jacobea, hacia 1127, el Obispo de Pamplona, a instancias del rey Alfonso el Batallador, fundó la institución hospitalaria de Roncesvalles.
Albergue de peregrinos
La reciente restauración acometida por el Gobierno de Navarra nos posibilita ofrecer al abrigo de estas viejas paredes un albergue dotado de las mejores instalaciones y servicios. Donde el peregrino, tras la agotadora estapa que inicia el Camino en Navarra, pueda descansar y disfrutar de este excepcional conjunto histórico patrimonial.
Roncesvalles Orreaga
Orreaga-Roncesvalles guarda memoria de gestas y cantares;
del paso de viejas calzadas y peregrinos agotados en ruta a Compostela;
de reyes que alzaron hospitales, iglesias, claustros y capillas;
de hospitaleros que fueron y son sacramento de acogida;
del amor por su Señora de los valles vecinos,
de su cofradía y de sus romeros,
y de sus muchas cruces…
Hoy, algo nuevo despierta en Roncesvalles
Marisol is a Camino angel. If she has time while stamping your credential, be sure to have a chat. When I decided to turn back to Valcarlos due to rain, she made sure that the pilgrim she’d driven past hadn’t got lost. It turns out this is her daily routine - making sure we all get across safely. No doubt she’s saved some lives through the years. Thank you Marisol. 🙏
I am on a pilgrimage. I crossed Pyreness. And I met this place. It was good for me. Everything was convenient for pilgrimage. Beds, shower facilities, laundry and so on. And volunteers were kind and friendly.
Well organized. For 4 euros you can have your clothes washed and dried ( they will bring it at your bed). We loved the facility after our first rainy Camino day. Excellent dinner for 11 euros at the restaurant nearby
This is a huge facility accommodating alot of Peregrinos. Check in was a little cumbersome but the faciltiies were clean, new and very modern. Appreciated the to-your-bunk laundry service. Food is excellent at the associated restaurants.
I can understand why some people give three stars for this place, about 260 beds on one floor, but limited bathrooms. But I think it is a great place to stay, it’s tidy clean, well organised. Breakfast and dinner are good, it has ham included.
