€15 for the bed, including bed sheet and a blanket
€35 for the bed, dinner, and breakfast

8 bunks in a room, sleeping 16 people per room.
The beds squeeked all night and every time the person on the top bunk moved, it felt like an earthquake underneath. The hallway lights were automatic and shined into the room all night whenever someone went to the bathroom. All the rooms are connected but with high walls. We didn’t sleep much at all.

Walking in looked lovely, but inside the albergue absolutely stunk like manure! The smell was stuck in the walls, and also got stuck in the clothes we washed and we could smell it all day even after leaving the albergue. The whole town smelled like manure/fertiliser, however it was nice to have fresh air outside rather than be stuck inside those walls. There was an outside area to lounge in, which also had a trampoline and hammock.

Hand washing and hanging space available outside.

There are also a few different options to eat in this town, and a supermercado. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, and kettle.

A few other pilgrims I know stayed at another albergue in town and they said it also smelled really bad there too.

Overall, I would recommend staying in the town before or walking on past this fertiliser town, which is very unfortunate because the town itself was very pretty.

Buen Camino!

Absolute great place to stay. 5 star from me. Modern, very clean and hyganic. Nice staff, top food, nice garden to hang out. All and all worth every bit of the 17 euro they charge. Will stay here again and recommend.

Good Albergue but the squeaking beds made a lot of noise through the night

Worst town so far for finding an open kitchen. 1 place had crappie food and 19€ . I ate lunch and dinner at grocery store. I'll avoid stopping at this town in the future.

What an absolutely ridiculous comment to make re bedbugs! Like it's the guests fault everything is dirty - so don't complain!

Don't blame an albergue if there are bedbugs.
It will have been a pilgrim who has brought them in.
Be careful where you put your pack down or where you sit to take a break.

I enjoyed my stay here, paper sheet supplied. Basic laundry facilities. Food was good, talked to friendly owner about the Camino and how it’s changed since last time I walked 16 years ago. Sad to see the old Albergue across road in ruins.

At the moment (may-june 2025) there is ¡NO! any signs of bedbugs, you can stay safe! Well equipped albergue with attached garden and restaurant. Beds are OK, 7 bunkbeds per room, well ventilated and spotless.
Tip: ask for homemade sausage set in menu peregrino at dinner!
Cons: only cash place, albergue and bar too.

Stayed here on awlful rubber beds and got bed bugs. The hosts didn’t care too much for pilgrims. Bed were too close together like sardines!!!!

Stayed here after a 36 km day. Beds squeak every time you blink. Too many beds in one room, I could literally touch the person in the bunk next to me. 12€ is cheap but the place is dirty, in clean, run down, unloved. Staff not helpful. Gotta pay extra for a sheet and extra for a pillow case. Hot hot hot
Would not stay .
