Albergue El Paso

Thanks for sharing a piece of happiness and paradise. I did not stay here but stopped to ask for coffee and toilet. I knew it wasn't opened but the kind host opened up the reception room to give us the 1 euro machine coffee and let me use the extremely clean toilet. I sat at his courtyard filled with warm sunshine and fresh November air feeling the nature. It was a truly beautiful moment. It was one of the rare moments you experience out of blue. I felt happy even if I am walking this Camino to overcome my crisis. Then the kind host followed me with his bike to give me the jacket I left behind. He is my Camino angel. One of my Camino angels. Thank you again.

Wester themed respite from the hot days. An oasis of kindness and hospitality. Well planned and comfortable alburque. Clean, quiet and plenty of space to chill out Colld stream for soaking your feet. Cold beer too. Bbq and well equiped kitchen. Mercado close by with local food. Buy a steak!

One of the nicest albergues in Camino Frances. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean, warm and cosy. Good and calm atmosphere inside and outside the house. Wonderful place to have a rest and recover after a long walk.

Maria and Lalo are simply the best ! This was my second time staying there. I stayed there 6 years ago when they opened. This was my second Camino and I made specific plans to stay there again because of the memories I had from before. This time just as last time didn't disappoint. They have kept the property just like it opened. Immaculate. Maria and Lalo are now fluent in English. Still kind hearted. Maria took me to her garden while Lalo set me my e-bike up to charge. Occasionally I would see their family members come and hang out there and they would invite the Pilgrims to join them too. They have a huge and clean kitchen equipped with lots of dishes. The ambiance is fantastic. It hasn't changed. Near a river. One can listen to the sounds of river, cow bells and watch the most amazing views of the mountains. This Albergue is the last big and well set-up one before the O'cebreiro's big climb. Do not miss this opportunity to visit Maria and Lalo. And if read this review and go there, tell them I said hello. Stephanie from New York ;-)

The Albergue is very clean, and the managers of this family run affair are kind and helpful. The supermarket is almost opposite, and there are kitchen facilities which as you can see from the photos we used to make the best evening meal since leaving SSJP. Marie, the manager even provided all the oils and seasoning we needed - very kind. They will let you camp on the extended land the night if that’s your thing. An excellent overnight stay walking the Camino. Thanks very much 😀
