We decided to walk slightly further past Triacastela to A Balsa, Albergue El Beso. We had an amazing stay. The albergue is beautiful - timber bunks and great showers, and a hammocks area out the back of the albergue. The owners Marijn and Jessica are vegans (we are not vegan ourselves), and we got served an amazing meal - one of the best we have had on the Camino! Highly highly recommend this as a place to stay.

As a non-vegan travelling with my 18 year old carnivore son this place was a risk.
We both loved it. Food was great, plentiful and a joy to stay at. We both really enjoyed the meal and felt really good to get some vegetable vitamins after the relatively bland spanish diet of the last 3 weeks.
Highly recommended even if you’re not vegan.

If you want it all spic and span in the corners this is not the place for you.
If you want cool atmosphere, good vegan food and lots of it, Puzzles to do, books to read, chairs in the backyard to hang out on, hammocks in the woods to lounge in, homemade log bunkbeds with lots of height and no squeaking and a very lovely host family, this is a place for you.

A wonderful place run by a lovely family. We had comfy beds in this small and clean alburgue. The showers worked great. The outdoor experience in the hammocks in the forest behind the alburge was so relaxing! Our vegan dinner was tasty and very filling. My wife and I highly recommend El Beso!

Such a unique place on the Camino! The owners turned the old building into a lovely albergue full of charm. Even the bunk beds are different from other places. They have a lovely garden and the atmosphere is just calm and nice. Dinner and breakfast was absolutely delicious. Stay here if you can!

The family that hosts this albergue are kind and gentle to everyone, to creation itself and we loved our stay here to rest and rejuvenate. The bunks are lofted and comfy, the vegan menu was so delicious and served by the whole family, it was simply lovely.

Such a calm place, very special. The wooden bunks with tree trunk uprights felt a little like sleeping in a wood. There is an ancient chestnut wood outside with hammocks, beautiful. Delicious communal vegan meal. This is a perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries. One of my very favourite albergues.
