Water fountain adjacent to the church. Surrounding the town are several low stone walls that used to hold cattle and sheep, you will be forgiven for thinking that the village was falling down around you.

Home of the Cowboy bar, and that other bar.

The albergue Gabino is run by the brother (and mother?). The shop (Tea and Coffee) at the end of the village by the sister (and father?)
But at the shop there are also private rooms! But not just rooms. You have a tiny house to yourselves 😍
With a small kitchen with fridge, an en-suite bathroom, a double bed and a single bed! Separated by a small wall, so privacy enough to share it 😊
Lovely place, lovely people. Don’t miss it! Totally recommend it!
You can have dinner at the albergue €10,- 😉

The hostel is ran by a mother and son, you stay in a tipi/yurt with 9 beds all single beds no bunks. The kitchen is open during siesta hours and is reasonably priced. My bed, a beer, Aquarius, salad, Spanish soup, and wings came out to €27. Definitely would recommend

This was the best albergue I stayed at in all my camino so far. The people running the place became like family in a short time and the pets were all so precious and sweet. They took care of everything for the pilgrims and the food was also amazing. If I were to ever come back and volunteer at an albergue, this would be the place. I definitely recommend because missing out on this place would be missing out on a very amazing experience. I literally cried when I left because it brokey heart that I will not see these angels again.

Highly recommend the Indian way in El Ganso. And their excellent paella! Also check out the small market in town. Lots of fresh options for hungry hikers.

So happy that I saw another piligrim' s comment and booked Indian Way. Not very warm but they have blankets and you sleep in a tipy. So lovely.

The hostel is called Indian Way and you sleep with 9 persons in an Indian Teepee for €10 a night. Separate toilet/bathroom for both sexes , reachable via outside. The albergue offers a terrific Paella Pelgrim menu. via a family recepy. Good value for money, the reception has a small bar.

Another recommendation for the cafe/shop at the end of the town. Look out for a Tea and Coffee sign. Helpfully the little shop sells lots of essentials like tampons, sun block and chocolate. And it's open on Bank Holidays too

Albergue Indian Way is such a genuine surprise. Such friendly hosts, warm and welcoming and so eager to share their unique albergue with you. The teepees are such a unique experience and great to have single beds - no bunks! The bathrooms were lovely - separate ladies and gents. But the best part was dinner!! The biggest, most delicious seafood paella! Absolutely my favourite!

There is an additional albergue as you enter town, called Indian Way. They have wifi, laundry, and Native American tipis to sleep in.

As someone below commented, don't stop at the first bar you come to in El Ganso. The bar as you leave town is relaxing, the staff are welcoming and the food delicious. I had the avocado toast!
