A true gem on our first day in Spain! We received such a warm welcome from Tanya with a fresh drink to relax after a long day of walking. The Inn is so clean, beautifully decorated and offers all the amenities you need to rest, prepare your own meals and even do your laundry. A fresh croissant in the morning spices up the deal!
WOW! What a surprise on our journey to Santiago! This place is such a gem in so many aspects: a cute village, a welcoming beer/drink, amazing views of both the church and the ocean, cozy clean rooms with great mattresses, two perfectly clean nice bathrooms, a well-equipped spacious kitchen to prepare your own meals, free use of washing and drying machines, free coffee, croissant in the morning, and as a cherry on top - Tanya is a great host who is a native American, so you will not have any problems communicating with her. The only "downside" is that reservations aren't possible, but when you end up here, you certainly know why you walked, and this comes as a great reward after a tiring day.
This place is one of the nicest Albergue (Inn) on the Portuguese Coastal Camino. While it costs a bit more than your average walk-in Albergue, the owner Tanya is a pilgrim and she understands how it feels to roll in after walking hot and dusty in the heat. You get a free cold welcome drink, the water pressure is amazing and wonderful, and in the morning a free, freshly baked croissant (plain or chocolate) there are two nice places for dinner nearby. Such a treat to beat the heat near the sea and the lovely monastery nearby.
Beautiful as heaven, the best stay on my Camino so far😍 Very nice and clean rooms, as well as the bathroom! Washing and drying machine is included and I got a welcome beer from the heartwarming owner as well. There's a kitchen with everything you need you can use, also a living area and a garden. 5 stars are even too less for this great service and souls!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Staying with Tanya at La Cala and experiencing Oia was one of the best times I’ve had after over 40 days on Camino. She’s incredibly welcoming and considerate, her home is beautiful and Oia is a perfect place to stop and relax. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again. Laundry on site, physiotherapy available through a local, beautiful kitchen, GREAT SHOWER! Incredible views.
