    Not much around, just 1 or 2 bars with not much to offer. Tiny shop. You better shop and eat in a bigger nearby village

    Big clean shower room

    It was all good.

    The staff were very welcoming. There was room to park my bike. It was quiet and there was a restaurant nearby with a pilgrim menu. The albergue was convenient for one of the Camino del Norte variations.

    It is out of the way for main shops but as long as you are prepared to be in a smaller town with meals/snacks it’s very easy to make it work. There are also some bar food options close by just in case.

    It was a lovely property that was surprisingly modern, offering a clean and welcoming environment with excellent facilities. Being able to use a washing machine for free was also a perfect reset on my travels. I did not expect such a nice place to stay with such good facilities in a little town out of the way, so it was a wonderful surprise. The owner is incredibly kind and flexible, letting me sleep in and stay another night without any issues at all. It is a place that I would easily recommend to anyone doing the Camino or otherwise travelling.

    Some quarry workers stayed there as well, so it is not always a pilgrim only albergue. This however did not influence the relaxed atmosphere. I also found out too late that the albergue is not in Castro Urdiales, but about 1.5 hours walking outside of it. This was completely my own fault but was a little bit inconvenient.

    First albergue i stayed at on the Camino. It was clean and tidy.

    I didn’t like the long walk in the morning. It added an extra few kilometres to my day. But that really has nothing to influence the property.

    It was lovely staying out of a larger town and great that there was a washing machine to use. The menu del dia at a nearby restaurant was good but don’t expect to get wine included in the price which is very very unusual.

    Only downside is the location- it’s about 4-5km from Castro Urdiales so you’re a little limited for food options- there are a couple of bars in the village though which have pilgrim menus!

    Great place, the staff were so lovely, helpful & friendly. Has an amazing view over the mountains and a great terrace to sit out on in the afternoon. Each bed had an assigned plug socket & locker which was great.

    We stayed at this property for 1 night while walking the Camino Norte. The property is a typical camino style albergue with dorm style rooms and double bunks. The sign in process was easy and the bars were close by for meals.

    You need to call the owner on arrival. This is common with alberges and worked fine for me. For the couple of guests that areived next it was difficult to reach the owner.

    Comfortable, tidy, good kitchen and free use of washing machines. Overall a good albergue with a freindly/ homey feeling.

    The room is small, yet has 5 bunks, and air is very insufficient for 10 people, when I spent the night there.

    I was able to check in at 1pm. Close to a few bars, one at 100m away with menu de dia of good value.

    The bunk beds are old and creaky and 4.5 euros for a clothes dryer seemed overpriced to me.

    This Albergue was a welcoming and warm place after my first hard and rainy day. It gave me the comfort I needed. There is a cafe and a restaurant nearby. The woman at the reception was really nice.
