Oasis Trails

That someone is upset that they ran into Christians on The Way of St James. What do they think a pilgrim is? Maybe they were joking?

The albergue is run by warmhearted people. I really got the feeling that they wanted to make me feel at home. Delicious dinner and clean rooms.

Reading some of the negative comments. I was a little apprehensive about going. However, the place was meticulously maintained. The staff were doing absolutely wonderful. Their level of care and attention that was shown to pilgrims was better than any I had seen on any previous Camino.

The open time is 14:00

We had a lovely community dinner! So delicious! Shepherds Pie!!!! Really a warm and friendly environment. The welcoming people were so kind. The evening meditation was great. Just such a gentle and loving atmosphere. Many kind hearted volunteers working here.

I enjoyed my stay at Oasis Trails. The group in charge of the albergue definitely values the Christian faith, and every night there is a non-denominational Christian meditation service. I found it peaceful. Also, the dinner was delicious, and the hosts catered to my vegetarian needs!

I have made it to Santiago now, and looking back this was the best meal I had on the Camino. Besides being delicious, there were seconds for everyone, and a very friendly communal atmosphere. Great vegetarian option as well. The albergue building itself is cozy, and there is a lovely stone patio in the front. The family and volunteers at this albergue are very kind and hospitable. I enjoyed my stay very much.

felt as though they wanted to push their beliefs on the pilgrims

I had a nice stay in a room with 4 beds on the second floor with a balcony.
This albergue has 1 shower and 1 toilet for al the guests.
Bed with paper sheets is €12, diner €15. Diner was really nice. And for breakfast €5, you get a bag with breakfast in it.
The people of the community ate with the pelgrims and at 20.30 o clock there is a Jesus meditation. You are welcome to join if you want.

Buen camino

Other pilgrims have written that they didn’t feel this religious community pushed the Jesus stuff. I have to disagree. I felt quite uncomfortable during my stay, especially with the questioning (that felt more like an interrogation) by the international volunteers about my spiritual life. It felt very much like I was trying to be “saved.” I wouldn’t recommend the experience, especially for those who might have been hurt by religion in the past.

I have stayed here 3 times. I am planning a 4th stay in June ‘24. To me, this albergue is the essence of the Camino. It is run by a religious community but they don’t push it. I am an atheist but have always felt welcomed here. If you have time the climb to the castle behind the albergue is worth the effort.

Cold water, infused with lemon and mint refreshed pilgrims during check in.
The private room includes linens and towels.
Toilet is on the 3rd floor.
Shower on the 2nd.
Pilgrims’ meal for 12€ included generous
portions of a lovely salad, lentil & pasta dish, fresh bread, vino tinto, and a choice of 2 desserts.
After dinner, pilgrims may participate in a
1/2 hour guided meditation.
For 4€, a take-away breakfast is offered. Take advantage. The first bar/café is in Los Arcos.

A friendly welcome & a delicious dinner

This alberque is run by international volunteers. We did not stay here but we wish we had. The pilgrim meal is only served to pilgrims staying at the alberque. The menu sounded great, asparagus soup, and a main Indian dish. Definitely not the standard pilgrim meal fare. Everyone that ate there, said the food was fantastic. Since there are only two albergue and one supermarket in town, if you're looking for a good meal, consider booking this albergue.

A lovely, seemingly out-of-the-way location with wonderful hospitality. Ellie and Fleur were lovely hosts, and the peregrinos bonded over a delicious home-cooked community meal. After, we were invited to join the staff for their nightly meditation. This albergue experience was a wonderful renewal after a few days hard walk.

As others have said, the building is quaint , the hospitality was above and beyond and the food was very good and garden fresh. My only complaint is the bathrooms are oddly located and somewhat inadequate in number- and that is at half capacity due to Covid. Still give it a thumbs up , we enjoyed the real Camino spirit we found here

Stopped here on 16th of august 2020. Best stop on the camino so far! Marlene cooked delicious dinner for 10 euros, and there was breakfast for 4 euros. Camino spirit in top, would recomend to all.

A delightful stop. Real sense of community. Warm and welcoming hospitalarios. Excellent food - far, far above the norm - and an all-round positive vibe. Definitely worth visiting.

Lemon water to drink, cold water with Epsom salts for your feet, and wonderfully kind hosts to greet you out front. Who could ask for more? The communal dinner was delicious! Some of the hallways and doorways are a bit small for taller folks, but overall an excellent albergue experience!

Should make a point of staying here and if you do, after you enjoy the lovingly prepared meal, join the meditation session in their humble sweet oratory. It will deepen your Camino experience.
Great albergue in all respects.
