With changing times Ventosa has found itself separated from the camino by the rearrangement of yellow arrows for the sake of shaving 800m from the camino. There are two bars, an albergue, and a usually lively atmosphere as the majority of pilgrims continue to mark this path.

Great small albergue, owners speak English, French and Spanish.
There are 2 rooms, both have 3 bunk beds but one of them is bigger than the other. I got there early so I got in the bigger room.
The beds are comfy with real linen sheets and pillow cases.
Showers and WC are separate for men and women. The showers are pretty good and clean. The bathroom is big and great in general.
There's a little super cute garden (with shade) to sit in the afternoon.
Laundry is a bit expensive (5€ for washing and 5€ for drying).
There's no supermarket in this village so the albergue has a small store, they sell soft drinks, pasta, sauce, some vegetables, milk, and you can also buy paella or pizza from them (I didn't try that).
There are also 2 restaurants nearby, one only serves lunch and the other lunch and dinner (with pilgrim's menu). The hospitalero told me one also serves breakfast starting 6am.

This town is a must see in my opinion. Very charming and the art work on the walk in is so beautiful! The hotel had the best shower I’ve had so far on the Camino! It also had the cutest decor and a very comfortable bed! The food and bar in town had the nicest people and great Paella! Don’t miss this stop.

While in Logroño I slipped getting out of the bath. Nasty bruise and struggle with just basic things. The hotel was not able to extend my stay, a blessing in disguise, as I found Hotel Las Àguedas in Ventosa. Rocifio, who owns the hotel, is a kind and gentle lady. I was able to stay in this quiet, clean, and friendly hotel to recuperate. I have had 4 days and don't regret staying here. I was lucky to be close to a large and naturally lit lounge and make as many cups of tea as I wished, a little bit of home.
If I am ever back here, I would not hesitate to stay here. The village is small and so sweet, with a bar/restaurant and a cafe. Some interesting artwork scattered around.

Staying in this little arty village, in the lovely and super friendly Albergue San Saturnino, gave me all the calmness I was looking for at the moment! Discovered the whole colourful village. And, I really enjoyed the art in open air!

We highly recommend you visit the honey meadery located in town. The he gentleman that runs it is very enthusiastic and the different kinds of mead and honey we tried was amazing!

Walking along the highway was UNPLEASANT. Adding .8km was well worth it to return to the pretty hills and countryside and get off the highway! A little rest and a beer in the pretty village didn’t hurt either!

Not sure why this is an alternate route… don’t know who decides which way the trail goes or why. I walked in here this morning after staying in Nevarrete- great scenic walk to the town, especially when juxtaposed to the highway walk. Had a great breakfast (7:30 am) at a friendly place right in town (buen camino café), and back on the trail. I haven’t walked the “main” route, but not sure why anyone would take it instead…

Only had 13 miles in me this day. Wonderful stop. Restaurant was good. I had lunch at the one on trail, and dinner up the hill. The albergue so nice. Make sure and walk up to the church.

Such a short detour and saw beautiful scenery. Stopped and had an ice cold smoothie that I am still thinking about. A cute place to stop.
