Camino de Sant… (not verified)

I guess it all depends what you value…like everything in life. I’ve stopped here for breakfast on several Caminos and always had delicious, ample and very good value fare.
This was the first time I’ve stayed in the albergue (9 December) and I was the only pilgrim there, but it was one of my best nights. Felt like I was staying at the house of a slightly eccentric but caring uncle, complete with dogs, cats and very relaxed and friendly staff. I didn’t feel like I was being treated like a customer, I felt like I was being genuinely welcomed into someone’s home and taken good care of.
There was a cozy wood burner going all day long in the bar, as the rain lashed down outside, and although the albergue wasn’t the warmest there was a mountain of good blankets to choose from, so I slept warm as toast. The showers were super-hot and the bunk beds very sturdy (wooden-framed) with deep, firm, super-comfy mattresses. Disposable sheet and pillow case provided and all for 6€ (cheapest price I’ve paid on the whole Camino Frances).
I ate lunch, dinner and breakfast there and paid 30€ for the lot.
Add to that the fact that the albergue is staying open all year, including Christmas and New Year, I’m very grateful that places like this - full of local character and characters - still exist on the Camino.

After coming down From Prabela and one of the best hospitality experiences on the Camino so far and then climbing all day again seemingly And finding no available beds until I reached this Albergue. It was after 6 PM when I arrived there and about 1/5 of the beds were taken. I was happy to have one. Within an hour about 10 bicyclist showed up and almost filled the room. The little guy that was running it was entertaining but not really effective and the conditions and the facility were just adequate. It worked perfect for a last resort!
