Albergue Publico de Cabañes (La Casuca del Perdon)

There are two Albergues in Cabañes and I decided to sleep in the one further into town, Albergue Public de Cabańes. It’s located right next to a church and the hospitalerio is happy to hand over the key to go explore. The nightly fee is 15€. There are no bars or restaurants in Cabañes.

The albergue has hot showers, simple beds, Wi-Fi, a nice outdoor space, and they can do you laundry by machine for a small fee. There is no access to a kitchen, so the shared dinner is a must.

Micky was our hospitalerio and he was a fantastic chef! Communal dinner is 10€ and includes wine, bread, a starter, second, and dessert. It really was one of my best meals on the Camino Lebaniego! He actually made us a lentil soup out of mushrooms he had gathered in the forest.

The Albergue also offers breakfast in the morning for a fee of 5€.

Day 3 | Cabañes – Potes

Remember that there is a daily mass at the Monastery of Santo Toribio every day at noon. Many pilgrims wish to attend the mass so plan accordingly. The Monastery is outside of Potes and will take around 45 minutes or so to walk to once in Potes.

The walk out of Cabañes is beautiful with the peaks encircling the village and the freshly sheared sheep belted me along. A short distance from Cabañes is the small village Pendes. Don’t miss a chance to sample and purchase mountain cheese from the small cheese shop (Quesería Pendes)! I bought a delicious hunk of Ovieja that lasted me the rest of my Camino journey and beyond.

It’s downhill to follow the river into Potes a very lovely mountain village that makes the list of one of Spain’s most beautiful pueblos. If planning on heading to the Monastery, your first stop should be the Potes Tourist Information Center.
