Albergue Lamas

Very peaceful place and great hosts and home made food. It was the best for me, felt like home. They really care about you. The hike up is very beautiful. In the beginning of the ascent, there are local lady’s who try to talk to pelgrims to not take this route. They say it’s dangerous. This is bullying against this albergue. This route is not more or less dangerous than any other routes in the mountains. I’ve hiked and stayed here twice and it was always fantastic. The beginning is steep, but after 30 min it’s just great

Absolutely my FAVORITE albergue on the Camino. The sweetest hosts, freshest food straight from the garden, beautiful chestnut liquor, homemade wine, stunning views, all worth it with the 8km walk uphill. Just a heads up there are no benches or water fountains on the way from Villafranca, but this way was worth it. I had the most amazing dinner and breakfast here. Could not recommend it more.

All in all, just an amazing albergue. We stayed here the other night, with only four people in total. Warm and welcoming hostesses. The meal is with homegrown vegetables and wine from their own fields. They do everything they can to make your stay better, and even though we know close to no Spanish, they try to explain it slower or with gestures, instead of getting frustrated. Few people take the alternative route up the mountain, but it’s a shame. This village was lovely and the tour was beautiful. Why not enjoy your Camino, instead of just rushing on? It definitely gets five stars from Denmark. (PS. take a piece of chestnut cake to go. It’ll do you good when you reach the climb to O Cebreiro)

Stopped for a piece of chestnut cake. Delicious. Host was very nice, patio was a great place to take a rest break.

The most sweetest, funny and kind hospitalero. Would highly recommend. Great beds, lovely home-cooked meal, fresh eggs and food from their own garden. Beautiful views of the mountains and lush green surroundings. Wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you so much Ana and Miguel
