“Wonderful, clean, pleasant and heartwarming hostel. Thank you!”
.Sonia, the owner, is magnificent! Her spirit of care, and giving and attentiveness is present in every detail in the albergue. The fabric sheets, the amazing garden and sofas in it, the cleanliness, the written signs - everything says care, love and attentiveness. It's probably the best hostel I stayed in during my Camino, and not necessarily because it was the fanciest, but it was the one that made my heart the happiest. Thank you Sonia!

“Wonderful place on the Camino”
A most wonderful quiet and tranquil place made all the more amazing by the hospitalera who runs it. The place is decorated tastefully and is impeccably clean. The garden is wonderfully peaceful and gives plenty of space for everyone.

“Great location and host. Right on The Way!”
What a lovely host - though her English was only slightly better than my Spanish, we got by. Her pilgrim dinner and the breakfast (I left at 6am, but it was laid out for me) were very tasty. She did my laundry quickly and readily. The garden was very relaxing. And all at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.
