I was so pleased to have stayed here yesterday. Our room A (1 door to enter ton2 separate rooms that shared 1 full bathroom; perfect for our family of 3. The short video is the view from our window. I forgot to take pics of the rooms, I was exhausted) was neatly cleaned and organized. Dinner was at 1900. Cristina (owner) and her assistant, Becky, prepared us a 6 course delicious homemade dinner (busy chatting with other pilgrims and managed only to take 3 shots as a sample of what we ate). She can accommodate breakfast time depending on pilgrims’ needs (a plus! Not all places do this). Ours was at 0800: had milk, coffee, bread, butter, jam, jamón serrano, boiled eggs, homemade madalaines (to die for!) -may not sound like much food but it was plentiful to us-. All fresh and delicious. Chatting with Cristina I found out she’s excited about learning English (similar to other places where we stayed, communication improvements are a work in progress, but once we have arrived, all was well) and works hard to run her home as a welcoming business. I’d stay here again! Cristina and Becky are attentive, welcoming, sweet and kind.
This is our second stay here, on our second Camino. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday and nothing was open in this quaint little village and don’t trust Google’s stated open times 😂 Three bars in village all within short walk. Elizabeth and Cristina made us feel at home here ( with the aid of google translate ) and our room was comfortable. The side of the house backing onto the road was a little noisy and there’s no a/c. Awesome shower!
La Posada Nueva did not disappoint. Pilgrims dinner was the most beautiful food.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean. However, the hostess while somewhat friendly acted like she did not like her job. She suggested our dinner time 7:30 and our breakfast time 8:30. The breakfast time was late (as we were walking the Camino but we agreed). Both meals began later than the time SHE set. We went in and sat down at 7:30 and it was at least 20 minutes before dinner service began. Same for breakfast. I went in and sat down at 8:30. No coffee. No cooking in the kitchen. Her helper was there and began to make coffee after I asked for some . The hostess did not even walk through the front door until at least 8:45. Breakfast was a complete disappointment. Our dinner was delicious. All local foods but no meat. Garlic soup, Tortilla (which was good) and what seemed to be a coarse polenta with tomato sauce. Sheep’s milk dessert. All was good but no protein. Then breakfast was toast, coffee. tangerine or kiwi and thin pressed turkey (white looking). I understand the difference in food cultures but since we were walking the Camino..,and there is no Place in town to eat….it seems some effort would be made to offer cheese or boiled egg or leftover tortilla. Very disappointed with the food because again….no place else to eat in the town.
I am not sure why La Posada Nueva shows the photo of a retention dam that is located in the village of Elizondo that is 50 km distant from La Posada. I have never been to La Posada Nueva but I know the photo not of any place near.
