Melide Xunta de Galicia Pilgrim Hostel
The Xunta de Galicia Pilgrim Hostel in the town of Melide is an establishment specially designed for pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago. This hostel is only for those holding a pilgrim credential, a document certifying their journey along this famous route. Melide is a special place because it is here that two of the most important routes of the Camino meet, the Camino Primitivo and the Camino de Santiago Frances. From this point on, pilgrims continue their journey towards the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in the city of Santiago de Compostela, the final destination for many of them. Also, for a great many pilgrims, Melide marks the end of a stage, giving special value to the experience of those walking these routes.
This hostel is strategically located at the edge of the town, making it easy for pilgrims arriving and wishing to continue their journey towards Santiago. Its convenient location lets walkers gather, rest and get ready for the next stage of their journey.
It is worth mentioning that the Xunta de Galicia Hostel in Melide underwent a complete renovation during 2009 and 2010. This renovation not only improved the facilities, but also allowed for better service for pilgrims looking for a place to rest after a long day of walking.
Since 2017, the hostel has featured facilities fully adapted for people with physical and sensory disabilities. This means even more pilgrims can now enjoy its services and the enriching experience the Camino de Santiago offers. All of this makes the Melide hostel a welcoming, accessible place, where every pilgrim can feel welcomed and cared for on their way to the city of Santiago de Compostela.
