Med skiftende tider er Ventosa blevet adskilt fra caminoen ved at omplacere de gule pile for at barbere 800 meter af caminoen. Der er to barer, et albergue og en normalt livlig atmosfære, da størstedelen af pilgrimmene fortsat følger denne vej.

Definitely worth the slight detour to come here. Cool artwork, beautiful church. Nice cafes!

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.

We decided to use alt route for additional water. Found the route to have lots of interesting decor to see.

Once in town, the patio seating with locals eating huge sandwiches and coffee pulled us in. Wonderful food for reasonable price.

Pet donkey across the street was nice charming site as well!

Mein Kopfkissen stank so extrem, dass ich es nicht verwenden konnte. Die Bettwäsche konnte keinesfalls gewechselt und gewaschen sein, denn unter dem Kissen lagen noch die Ohrstöpsel vom vorherigen Pilger.
Duschvorhänge gehörten gewechselt.In solchen Herbergen muss man sehr aufpassen, was man ungewollt einsammelt (Bettwanzen, Fußpilz etc.).
Ich empfehle, eine andere Herberge aufzusuchen! Da gibt es wesentlich angenehmere, wo auch Preis-Leistung stimmen.

We had an amazing stay last night. Alessandra was a great host. Nice kitchen facilities to make your own food.

A meadery opened up just 2 blocks up from Albergue San Saturnino(great spot). Their bar is open early in the day and their different meads(called hidromiel) and honey beers are FANTASTIC! Just a really mellow spot to sit and hang out after a long day on the Camino. I'd recommend the Hidromiel con Limon, perfect level of acidity and sweetness. Also, the owner's father will give a talk about bees, beekeeping, and the environment if you're interested in learning about that stuff 🐝
