"Albergue" is a refuge / shelter / asylum.
In terms of tourism, albergues are something like - someone correct me if I'm
wrong here - backpackers lodgings.
"Asilo" also translates to above.
How we got it? Thank the pakles who set up the institution of Assistencia de
Provedoria Publica a few centuries ago along with Asilos and Albergues along
the years.
(Anyone remember the "sortio" of Cruz Vermelha? And the sellers spruiking them
"sorte sorte - faleam abertur...")
