So happy I was able to get some food and groceries here! Not a lot of options & I do recommend!

I had a wonderful stay here. The hospitaleros were so welcoming. And the wife is a wonderful cook. The food was delicious, nutritious, and inexpensive.

This albergue is a lovely, small one. Hot showers and really clean.
The rooms are very comfortable and the price for a two bed room is more than reasonable.
I think this is the nicest since starting at St Jean Pied de port

Booked this as it fit in with a long 35k… sceptical at first but this couple are fantastic and seem to be trying to grow this part of their business… single room at a great price… food was terrific….huge portions…very accommodating….a little shop in the bar for top up or necessities. For the price I couldn’t fault

There is a dodgy place you can stay in that is also a bar. You will get locked in overnight and be unable to leave until the owner returns in the morning. Not a safe environment.

I am pleased to report that on 18 May 2022, we stopped at Cafe Leon for lunch and the proprietor is still friendly and welcoming with a good range of food choices, very clean bathrooms and indoor and outdoor seating.

Best to avoid Villamayor del Rio. The smell of cow manure being transported in trucks was overwhelming all night and we stayed at a private albergue —not too friendly. But the highlight was dinner at Cafe Leon whose proprietor is a warm gentleman who is extremely knowledgeable about local history. In fact his restaurant contains a small museum of medieval artifacts. He went out of his way to give us a lovely non-pilgrim meal and gave us the grand tour—-most entertaining and a highly recommended stop. Mind you this was 2012, so things may have changed.
