Be sure to stop for a meal at Restaurant Arroceria Espanol. A most gracious hostess of House, her husband is the Chef in the kitchen. I mentioned that the meal was so good I should kiss him. He rushed to me and warmly hugged me and then hugged my wife too.

A delightful repast, with perfect Spanish hosts.

The best meal we have had so far.

The woman in the coffee shop take rudeness to a new level. Kept serving people before us then let our food go cold in the kitchen window. It was so obvious she has no time for Pilgrims.

El Paso albergue is amazing! Stayed in a double room with a private bathroom. Super clean, smelled great, and it was so quiet and peaceful. A nice and well needed break before O Cebriero.

Please visit Silvio at the end of town at La Casa del Rosarios. He hand makes beautiful rosaries that will truly stand the test of time. He’s open every day from 8 am to 1pm. Beautiful materials and it’s clear Silvio loves what he does! I bought a jade rosary two years ago and I left town with three gorgeous rosaries made of agate, lapis, and turquoise. If you stop by, tell him Eva from Texas said hello!

I agree with the previous comment. What a great little restaurant on the Camino! Really good food and service. Such a nice break from the standard bars and cafes along the way. We had a salad for lunch and then went back for a good dinner.

Great Dinner here!
It all felt very thoughtful. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating had heaters and blankets on the chair. We ordered the gazpacho, Caesar salad, paella de mariscos and the carrot cake. They were all delicious. It was a nice break from chicken and patatas. The lady waiting on us who runs it is so kind and helpful. We felt rejuvenated after dining here.

Nice accommodation. Clean. Kitchen is always open. Beer fridge is self serve. There is a garden that’s donativo to use from. The host is so nice! I paid to use the washer but I was out late and when I was back she had hung up all my clothes to dry!
