Es gibt mehrere Restaurants in diesem kleinen Ort, einige sind schicker als andere. Ein kleiner Erkundungsspaziergang lohnt sich hier, bevor man sich entscheidet.

The Road

Um auf dem Camino zu bleiben, überqueren Sie nicht den Parkplatz sondern schauen nach rechts. Gleich hinter der Residencia Pobeña führt ein schmaler Pfad bergauf zu einem schönen Weg entlang der Landzunge.

Der Camino dreht sich kurz vor der Ankunft in Ontón landeinwärts und passiert die A-8 und auf dem Weg nach Kantabrien.

Très bon accueil, l'hospitalier à ajouté 2 matelas car il n'y avait pas assez de places.

Pobeña albergue is far from “great” - it’s old, cramped, rin down, and uncomfortable. No real common area since kitchen and "lounge" are in one of the dorm rooms so there's nowhere to socialize or get ready in the morning without disturbing others, and forget about trying to cook any sort of meal.
(Fortunately the restaurant and bar in town are excellent - there's nowhere to buy groceries or even snacks though.) Bathroom situation is abysmal - just one toilet each for men and women in a place that sleeps 38 (do the math.) No soap or sanitizer in bathroom sinks, so overall hygiene situation is questionable.The woman who runs it is somewhat of a character and I liked her very much, although the checkin process is slow and laborious - not great when it's raining and dozens of pilgrims have to wait outside to check in.
All in all, it's serviceable, but just barely.

A lady who seems to live at the albergue checks you in one at a time. Can take very long. She seems incredibly passionate about her job. She tucks you in at night with a very nice buenas noches and shuts the lights off. If you wake up late, she shuns you to leave promptly. She played music and was yelling at 6am while playing Adele on her phone to wake everyone up.

The hospitalero I found was unhelpful and seemed to be quite unhappy in her role. Otherwise Alburgue was relatively okay

Coastal road open and very safe - they appear to have repaired it

We stayed here on 4th August and got a bed however many others missed out. Check in opens at 4pm and by the time we arrived at 2.15 there were already at least 20 pilgrims waiting and there was nearly 40 by the time check in opened. Check in was very slow and inefficient as there was only the one host to check everyone in and many waited in line for up to an hour only to be told there were no more beds. Lovely beach town, only minutes to beach, multiple good restaurants and bars.

As written here, the albergue is simple but very clean. Keep in mind that there is one very big room with a lot of people. The restaurant around the corner has a value for money pelgrims menu with a lot of options.

The costal path is blocked with a fence due to danger of stones falling down! Had to walk back !

Highly recommend staying here! Very friendly host, great restaurants, and we had a relaxing stroll in the evening sun. Great swim spot too.

This was an incredible albergue, very hospitable and helpful. We also tried the pilgrims menu just behind the albergue that is available and had plenty to eat. The vegetarian options were limited but we were still full for the 12€ set price. Highly recommend staying here! :)
