Camino de Sant…

David bought this dilapidated property about ten years ago (look, I'd had a vino tinto or two, so don't quote me). In that time he's lovingly restored original features, added loads of personality and cultivated a cute kitchen garden.

This donativo albergue feels like a home, because it is one. It's cosy, warm, and if there's something you want or need, it's yours. Everything is simple, but done well.

Make sure you read all the signage, because David hates repeating himself.

NOTE: this donativo is closed Saturday and Sunday because everyone needs a weekend, right?! 💕

If you want a different and funky donativo this is your place. Could only exist on El Camino. The host is volatile, intense, and generous. He will wash your clothes and fix a dinner different from the usual pilgrim fare. He will also cuss at you if annoyed. Not the cleanest place I’ve stayed but acceptable. It is interesting everywhere you look.

Camino de Sant…

Where to begin? Go for the patio, the fridge full of drinks, the stage full of instruments, the spacious shower, and the meticulously labeled amenities. Stay for the intense and unpredictable host, who will ensure you never quite know what is going to happen next. Remarkable in literally every way. A truly unforgettable evening, and a story that will only ever be fully undersrood by the others who shared it with you.

Total rustic charm. The host is amazing. He cooks, he washes your clothes, and he has a refrigerator filled with wine, beer, and juices for his guest. He means it when he says his house is your house. Overall this village does not seem friendly— this albergue will change your opinion.
