We checked into Hostel Alto Paramo and Rosa greeted us and offered us two rooms on the first floor when it could have been the second floor. My sister had a medical emergency and Rosa and her mother drove us to the medical clinic. My sister ended up being ambulance to Hospital Leon. Than Rosa’s mother drove me and my two other sisters to Leon to the hospital and than a hostel. Rosa also took care of the booking. We couldn’t have done this without them.

This was our first stop from our Leon Camino start. We were greeted and checked in efficiently to a tidy and comfortable room. The hot shower was definitely welcome. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived in the afternoon. A full service meal was available in the bar for dinner. The staff was very attentive to a full room of patrons and pilgrims. Breakfast was served with three options - a tortilla, fresh donut, or a breakfast cake. The coffee is good; fresh juice is also available. We enjoyed our stay.

A disappointing experience to endure a hostess with a horrible attitude. We really felt that pilgrims are not welcome here. The hostal is on the side of a main road. Paid for breakfast which consisted of toast and coffee. Would not recommend this hostal.
Would recommend continuing to Hospital de Orbigo and not stop at Villadangos.

On a Sunday at 3 pm. The restaurant was very busy however this is no excuse for serving awful food. We had snappy service from the waitresses. Ordered beef, was served a plate of cold beef and chips. The beef was mostly fat and the meat was so tough that it just wasn’t edible. Avoid.

Do yourself a favour if you take this route and add the extra kms to your day to reach the town. There is nothing available at the Avenida 3 and yes, it is a transport cafe next door who don’t seem to be as affiliated with perregrinos as the rest of the Camino.

If you’ve not read my review to take the scenic route and are considering staying here keep walking unless you’ve brought a picnic from San Miguel!

The stay at Hotel Avenida III is okay but don’t expect a warm welcome. You’ll check yourself in and food is only available at the Hostel Avenida II, however they’re not accommodating the restaurant (which is basically a truck stop cafe, opens at 8:30pm. Our group walked toward the petrol station and crossed the very fast busy road to visit the other Hostel, we had a beer and waited until 7:30 pm for food. I would recommend taking the scenic route shortly after leaving La Virgin del Camino, you’re missing nothing walking the official route.

Located a little out of the way (700 m) where the truck drivers stop and eat. It was worth the walk, very good and well-prepared food, good wine and nice bar staff. Can recommend!

The restaurant at Hotel Avenida is a good stop for lunch or a snack, but keep walking to San Martin if you can for better accommodations.

I stayed here after a very stormy day. The hotel Avenida III was unoccupied and quirky but pleasant, clean and my room had a bath. All in all a reasonable stop but a truck-stop. Locals, drivers and Pilgrims all in one place was quite nice but not the charming towns you see (note, there is no town here)

Hotel Avenida Is next to a truck stop with bar and restaurant. Within the hotel there is only self serve snacks and drinks / the restaurant/bar is 60 m away and full of truck drivers and local workers. The menu del dia was good value, but its on a busy toad junction and very noisy. This idn’t made clear in the description.
