A small village with a bar and an albergue. The walking from here to Astorga crosses rolling farmland with increasingly good views of the mountains ahead — the first indication that the meseta is ending and something bigger lies beyond.
The approach to Astorga becomes more interesting as the terrain begins to rise gently and the walls of the city come into view.

A hidden gem! Really lovely hostess to welcome us to a quiet Albergue (with good English). Just 5 klm further from Hospital de Orbigo & you can get on the road to Astorga earlier by staying here instead of Hospital de Orbigo. Dinner available and breakfast to go. Lovely outdoor area to rest and a great hot shower. The night we stayed there were only 3 in the whole Albergue. Plenty of room here.

Watch out for the pack of dogs before the village there's about 6 large dogs that will harass you loudly

Everything you could wish for & it's Donotivo!

Bar Valle de Orbigo. Recently opened. Very pleasant and hospitable owner. Great service and very tasty food. Mad if you don't stop here.

As you enter town. Great new bar. Breakfast and clean washrooms. Worth it for a quick early stop.

A gem after a long day of walking!

After walking along the Camino trail along the highway all day, it was such a blessed moment to find this private albergue. I fell into my plush bed with a thick comforter and napped for 2 hours! The place is beautiful in its simplicity, clean and managed by a caring and friendly hostess. The home cooked meal of lentil stew was nourishing and delicious! Just lovely!

The owner is a true delight. She’s so sweet and truly takes care of her guests. She runs it with her sister. Super clean. Good pilgrim meal. Definitely the place to stay in this town.

This place is a must to stay , the owner that runs the place is such a tiny, sweet, bubbly person. She makes you feel comfortable right from the get-go. I would highly recommend this place and her chicken burgers are amazing stay for the hospitality, the quiet rooms, the clean place to sleep, and the great food, and always the smiling hostess.

She’s doing it for love, not money. You can tell. This place is special!

This is one of the most relaxing and serene stops on the Camino. Great rooms and the owner has done a wonderful job of creating a mini-oasis with an eclectic vibe around an old courtyard.

I happens to stumble across a new Albergue in the town. The owner was fantastic and incredibly enthusiastic. I wish I got to stay here! I’m sad to say I didn’t get the name…

This is paradise in the middle of nowhere! Fruits, bread, coffee, water, fresh juice - everything you need to reharge your body. And beyond that - some mattresses and hammocks to rest from ups and downs!

I was planning on sleeping outside on a mat when I perchance met Michael fetching water. He offered me a mattress and food and drink. All on a donation basis. He lives for pilgrims. It's a magical place. Please leave him a Google review. The Camino constantly surprises and delights.

La Casa de Los Dioses up on the plateau after those hills (up and down and up again) was so welcome! We came from Villar de Mazarife this morning and wow was the break here welcome. Be open to what the Camino and the universe provides and rest a bit before the hill down into San Justo de Vega!

There is a stall half way between Santibanez and San Justo de Vega with a guy who has fresh fruit, tea, coffee, lemonade, juice, biscuits, chocolate and many other things. He is very kind, and everything is by donation. He said it is open year round as he lives here. He speaks English and Spanish and a little of other languages.
Word a stop by for a refreshing drink!
He also has a very beautiful stamp/cello.
