An excellent choice, instead of stopping in Pobeña, carry on by the coast (magnificent views and great feeling) and this albergue will provide pilgrims with a nice and very welcoming experience. Maria José and Giuseppe's recently opened place is full of warmth and good vibes - as two pilgrims and former hospitaleros on the Camino, their experience will show in the details of the albergue and the way it is managed.
Accommodation is 6 euros, communal dinners are organized on donativo basis, and breakfast is another 2 euros. Equipped kitchen is opened for the pilgrims' use and there is a bike storing place for the bicigrinos too. Pets are allowed, there is a nice back yard where they can rest for the night. The atmosphere is a genuine one for an albergue made out of passion for the Camino and this will make for a great experience and outweigh the potential shortcomings of the place. Looking forward to visiting again in the future, thank you for your very kind...

All in all its a wonderful place to be though. It was worth not sleeping one bit haha. That means...

I am grateful to the hostess and recommend it to all pilgrims in search of kind, welcome and sincere atmosphere on one day of their Camino..good food and good atmosphere are...
