La Bodega Del Camino

I am gluten-free and the young Dutch couple who runs the place went way out of their way to accommodate my needs. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent, and the place was lovely.

This albergue was recently taken over by a young Dutch family (with four young children). They were very kind and gracious hosts. Any issue was promptly taken care of. They did all of my laundry for 3 euros (I could have cried with relief, as I was almost too tired to do a hand wash)! Food was excellent.
The family is Christian, and will read a page from the Bible before grace at meals. However, they don't push their beliefs on anyone, so non- Christians should still be comfortable.
I felt very well taken care of here, and would happily stay again. Highly recommended!

Washing machine, dryer ,terrace to dry clothes.
Fan in room only 8 bunks ,although private room available as well.
Food was excellent, pilgrim meal very nice , ordered food at bar excellent food, very fresh and tasty.
Hosts especially the lady very kind and welcoming.
Would stay again

The host has done several pilgrimages himself, and this shows in his consideration for his guests. The evening meal was tasty as well as nutritious, and there was a fan available in the dorm. Spaceous common areas and even a complimentary epsom salt foot bath for tired feet! That felt so nice! Real filter coffee with the breakfast also. Would go here again. :)

I suffered a really bad blister (now bleeding profusely) but marched hysterically stupidly forward on a very badly damaged foot towards Lorca.
Rubin’s assistant, (I guess she was from Mexico) immediately took over, disinfected the wound and literally shoved me into a little car to go to the hospital in Estella.
A elderly older farmer drove me all the way to the hospital and patiently quietly waited with me for four hours until I was released again.
He refused any KIND OF PAYMENT.
I was truly humbled by the generosity and plain human decency of all involved.
This was perhaps my Camino moment.
I wish I knew who they were…

One of my favorite stays. Ruben was incredibly welcoming and kind. Our room was clean and comfortable. And like most albergues we’ve stayed in, the beds are comfortably firm as are the pillows. Great area to hang out in and chat with others. One highlight - a foot bath with epson salts…so nice!

We were greeted so kindly by Reuben and made to feel right at home! It’s a nice facility and we enjoyed the sun porch and the foot bath! The food was delicious and would definitely recommend staying here!!

On October 25th, 2023 we arrived in Lorca exhausted and looking forward to staying here. A man sitting in the bar said the albergue was full-no room. We had to hike another 4 miles to Villatuerta…We stayed at Casa Magica and got a great nights sleep. The following morning we met some pilgrims that spent the previous night in Lorca; they arrived after us and got a bed. Still not sure why we were turned away and other ladies weren’t.

Albergue is just about ok. Shower was good but Double bed was really uncomfortable. We tried to make a snack but there is NO shop in Lorca and anyway, the kitchen items were definitely not the cleanest.

We payed €70 for a double room with no food..50 would have been fair..enjoyed the evening meal but it was also overpriced..host was not very friendly

We were warmly welcomed and shown all the facilities. We had a 3 bedded room which shared a bathroom with 1 other room. Kitchen to make cup of tea. Bowls and epsom salts for soaking tired feet. Excellent clothes drying area.
Bar downstairs open til 6pm .
We also had a very generous 4 course pilgrim dinner.

The rooms are relatively small , 8 beds (4 bunks). Good washing machine & drying area
Pilgrim dinner was okay!
Beware- the bar closes early! But there is another across the road ( for breakfast too).
We stayed on Good Friday night - so this may not be normal.

We booked a private room as a break from big, crowded dorms. It was okay. Water sprayed out of the shower. In order to plug in the adapter to charge our phones, we had to unplug lamps. Dinner was extra, and unremarkable. Breakfast was extra, and we wanted to get going in the morning. However, it was a nice warm room and a good break from dorms.

Excellent Albergue. One of the best so far. Very clean and many services: kitchen, laundry room, eating area and lovely rooms. Excellent coffee and friendly service.
