With the Camino overtaken by large Alburgues now, this was a special treat. There is only space for 6 in their home, but you immediately feel like you have a local family with Susan, Rocio, and their very well-behaved dogs. I slept on real cotton sheets and bedding after a long time. The meal of Castillan soup and a Rice vegetable dish (which they modified for me as a vegetarian), and bread was delicious and nutritious. Rocio is a fabulous cook, and you can taste the love that goes into everything.

This is a very small town but I feel like we had all we needed and enjoyed spending time on the terrace. Susan is fluent in English and I really enjoyed the conversations. She took time to be with each of the guests and share more about the village and their lives here. Breakfast is usually at 7, but she has it ready at 6:30, since two of us were leaving early, and insisted on being there to say goodbye. I really felt the spirit of the Camino here. ❤️

I just have to echo previous comments. Susan welcomed me at the door with a hug and cold water. She has two bedrooms with a bunk and single bed in each. Everything was provided - sheets and blankets, towel, shampoo, body soap. Vegetarian dinner came from her garden. I felt like I was staying in her guest bedroom. This place is not even in the same league as other albergues. Can’t say enough.

Amazing place to stay. Feels like visiting an old friend. Welcomed from the start; supper was incredible - plentiful and delicious; very comfortable beds. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing little place to stay. The most gracious hosts we have had. Best home cooked meal in Spain. Great showers, comfortable beds with only 3 to a room. Dogs to play with if you’re interested. Susan speaks great English and so easy to engage with. We got a private tour of the church and was able to ring the church bells. If I ever return to Spain I will definitely be back. We left feeling very happy, calm and grateful with our cups full after 22 days of walking!

This is a small albergue run by two lovely women, peregrinas themselves. We stayed here on the first night of our camino and felt so invited, Warm and loved by the hosts. We met some amazing fellow peregrinas too and the dinner was delicious.

Note that this is a detour from the main route to Villafranca from Cacabelos. We were able to coordinate via WhatsApp.

If you want to experience true love and hospitality, please stay at La Biznaga. Susan is an amazing person...

My mom and I arrived at the albergue during a sweltering hot day, drenched in sweat...and the first thing Susan did was to give both of us a big hug and offered us ice cold water.

And her dogs loved to play with me...which was awesome.

This place is why we walk the Camino Frances.

Thank you Susan.
