Hostal Salones Victoria — Restaurant in Santa Marina del Rey

Santa Marina del Rey is a few kilometres off the Camino, and so not a "normal" stopover. I am so glad that we made the trip here. We needed to catch a taxi from Villadangos del Paramo to the hostal, as I was carrying an injury and didn't want to walk the additional distance.||||Very well worth the decision to stay here. It seems to be a family run business in this quaint and quiet little rural town. Our host, Isobel (?), was lovely. She was friendly and accommodating, and even though we had no common language we seemed to communicate well. The next day she offered to drive us back to the Camino so that we could recommence our journey.||||The hostal itself is fairly basic, but still has everything that the overnight traveller needs. I've given it "excellent" ratings because of the service and the overall positive feeling I got from our stay. The town itself is quiet, but a fine place to wander around - and we found a small bar which was open and so dropped in for a vino and cafe.||||All round this was one of our favourite stays along the Camino. Highly...

Santa Marina del Rey es una pequeña localidad, a la que se accede fácilmente desde la carretera León - Astorga, de la que dista muy poco. Es el típico local al pie de la carretera, y es a la vez bar, hotel y salón de celebraciones para el pueblecito. Tiene pocas habitaciones, estuvimos en una para dos personas del segundo piso. La habitación era justita de tamaño, pero muy limpia, con una tele digital, acceso a internet, y cuarto de baño completo; aparte, un gran armario facilitaba la organización. Por tanto, en cuanto a la habitación, un notable alto. El desayuno incluido, "continental", en realidad fue mucho mejor de lo esperado; aparte de que te ponen todo el café y la leche que quieres, y te preparan tostada si lo deseas, en una cesta había todo tipo de bollos: magdalenas, pastas, galletas... por tanto, podía hacerse un desayuno muy abundante, no es la simple taza de café flojo con una galleta. Eso muy bien. Y otra cosa: estábamos de turismo (dormimos tres noches), y a la hora de comer no estábamos... pero sí a la de cenar. Y lo recomiendo mucho: su menú de 10 euros es abundante y sabroso, tienes varios primeros, segundos y postres bien cocinados (tipo "cocina de tu madre"), con ingredientes de calidad y buen gusto. De hecho, cenamos por casualidad la primera noche y repetimos las demás. Por último, a destacar la amabilidad y discreción del personal, pendiente siempre de que estés a tu gusto. Si alguien tiene dudas, que vaya a este hostal con toda...
