History

El nombre Lavacolla tiene uno de los orígenes más debatidos de todos los pueblos del camino. Van desde el insípido "campo en la parte inferior de la colina" hasta el más profano "frega tu escroto". Lo que es más ampliamente aceptado es que los peregrinos se bañaron en este río antes de entrar en la Catedral.

The Road

Si bajaba las escaleras para visitar cualquiera de los bares de abajo, gire y suba las escaleras hacia la Iglesia de Benaval. El camino continúa alrededor del lado derecho y hacia abajo para cruzar la carretera. En la carretera, cruce en el cruce peatonal y continúe por la carretera y sobre el famoso río.

La última colina está por delante, y si eres un stickler para hacer las cosas de acuerdo con la tradición, deberías empezar a correr ahora. Se dice que el primero de su grupo en llegar a Monte de Gozo tiene derecho a ser llamado Rey. Tenga en cuenta que no hay premio.

This is absolutely not even close to the last hill. Walked 4K more and already several much steeper hills!

I wanted to go to the famous bakery but it was closed on a Tuesday at 1pm, so disappointed 🥲

What a beautiful albergue! Everything immaculately clean. Beds are private, each one with a light and a socket for charging. Real linen already on beds. Areas for cooking, doing laundry, and a sitting area are so well-designed and welcoming. Games and books provide activities for rainy afternoons. The newly opened restaurant next door was excellent. Plus the owner, Alsira, is such a wonderful hostess! She has created such an inviting space for those last night on the Camino. I HIGHLY recommend this as your last evening.

Very unfriendly staff. Suggest eating elsewhere.

I stayed here before getting a bus out to Samos. It was an easy walk from the airport. Would be a good place to stay at the end of your Way before you get to SdeC. A great pension. Lovely people and a good price.

New Albergue opened August 2023, beautiful, real sheets, big lockers and each bunk has privacy curtains, lights and electric. Great common space and garden. Lovely owner. A pity it doesn't show yet on the app. Can book via booking.com where it's rated 9.3.

Thoroughly recommend for a comfortable nights stay before the 10km walk to Santiago. There’s a cross country short cut to get you back onto the Camino trail in the morning. Beautiful accommodation, very friendly staff and although the main host spoke good English, he was very patient with our Spanish as he could see we were learning. Beautiful chapel on site.
