Albergue El Alemán

It’s clean, lovely little pool for soaking feet, great patio with picnic tables for eating and socializing. Food is mediocre pilgrim fare. Need more bathrooms - there’s often a line. Doors are loud to open and shut and the hall light turns on automatically so if you’re in a bunk near the door as my husband was, it’s loud and bright on and off all night long.

It was a very nice albergue, but not a great place to sleep during a heat wave. The windows do not open all the way and there are no fans in the dorm. With so many people sleeping in one space, it was way too hot.

Wow! Such a clean, efficient, welcoming space for Pilgrims- even a plunge pool!
Plenty of well placed washing lines and I can’t wait for the Pilgrim’s meal which looks delicious 😋
I really appreciated a 20 k walk today instead of pushing on ❤️

It really doesn’t get better than this albergue. The hosts are kind hearted and really cultivate a space of rest and tranquility. The rooms are small, the beds are new and comfortable, and all of those little touches that make for a great albergue - real sheets, each buck with an electrical outlet and light, lockers, and very clean bathrooms. The garden was a delight and the pool was perfect for resting weary feet. The food was fantastic too.

The people that run this albergue are so sweet and hardworking. They ensure pilgrims are very comfortable with clean REAL sheets, bathrooms, and high-quality bedding. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent albergue, and I highly recommend staying here. Food was great. Everything was clean. It opens at noon, not 11.

Very nice albergue. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy all over. Delicious dinner for 16 euros with everything.
We loved it 🥰

Closed on Saturdays as it is a staff rest day - advised by email when trying to reserve a bed.

Such a beautiful place wirh a lovely atmosphere. The bar, the outside area and the village itself. Albergue facilities also perfect.

Really enjoyed our stay here yesterday after a long hot walk. The water in the pool soothed our feet, the beer and wine were good, and the beds superb.

Super Albergue, great outdoor space including a pool. Really nice indoor social area and the outdoor area has a covered and uncovered area. The husband and wife running it are so nice and helpful. They have thought of everything - even the hand laundry outside has a hot water tap. Excellent stay. Food was great, real sheets, incredibly clean

One of my favorites on the Camino. Clean, well organized, great food and beer garden, lovely owners. Bunks are solid, with lights and charge points. Bathrooms are spotless. Charming little pool. Highly recommend!

Everything was very clean and nice. The cafe/bar has a pilgrim menu and was very tasty. A great place to stop to avoid big city crowds.

This albergue is spotlessly clean, smells fresh and clean, and is operated by pilgrim friendly owners who work tirelessly to make you day’s end as relaxing as possible. This stop is just a little past where 90% of the pilgrims will stop, and just short of Boente proper. But the food is very good, the service is friendly and sweet, the showers run hot, and the beds have real sheets and pillow cases Stay here! Cheers!

Stopped by for excellent bocadillo today. The place was buzzing with pilgrims and locals and the Albergue was already ‘Completo’ at 1pm.

At this point on time both bar and albergue appear closed. Boente Albergue, accross the street from the church a very nice alternative

Very clean facility and extremely friendly owners. Well ventilated bathroom, rubber mattresses covered in real sheets, plenty of outlets, great patio

I took one Bocadillo with Omelette+ham+cheese+tomato.
Delicious and amazing taste. You should try it here. Nice place right next to Camino

The showers are very clean, good Peregrinos menu as well. I highly recommend this albergue.
