Érika is the most hardworking person I have ever met and it shows in the atmosphere of the albergue.The hostel really has a character that is fun, modern and homely(even a little chaotic,which I loved).The entire time I was there I was wanting to contribute to the hostel; not as an obligation, but as a desire to see the hostel's image be maintained and realised as Èrika deserves. I'll miss this place it gave me some really fun and enjoyable moments which I will cherish.Qué tengas mucho éxito tía y hasta la próxima 😁😁.

In the hostel you will work with up to five other volunteers. Mostly native Spanish speakers, so advanced Spanish knowledge makes it easier to communicate with the others. Erika only has limited English skills and lack of interest to try to communicate with you in English. The work is between 2,5 and 3 hours six days a week and is easy to manage. You will have a shared room with one other volunteer. The rooms are small and only the one next to the reception has a window. Because of that the other rooms have mold, so you stuff can easily get mold to. The beach is a 30min walk.

Hola Klara! He optado por no evaluarte ya que tú paso por el albergue ha sido diferente. La comunicación ha sido nula, ya que en ningún momento hubo intención por tu parte de crear equipo, básico en un albergue: ser sociable y abierto. Gracias

Erika is running a second hostel at the same time, so she is not around much. The breakfast consists of toast, oats, marmelade, juice, coffee, milk, fresh cheese. There are two surfboards and one wetsuit at the hostel. The beach is half an hour by foot. Geeting to know all the pilgrims is really interesting, who are nearly all of the guests. The guests are mostly older people (average 40). The hostel has sufficient space (common area, garden) to find a calm place and has a quite relaxed atmosphere. San Vicente is a small town but has several supermarkets, restaurants etc. Beautiful nature!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Erika and Monica are wonderful and warm people and the other volunteers were super fun. The work, which consisted of either cleaning or reception, is very easy to learn and not difficult. the hostel is a lovely little town with lots of restaurants and cafes, and the beach is beautiful. There are bus connections to the nearest cities, although having your own car is an advantage. It was the perfect place for my first voluntary work and I highly recommend it.

In the hostel, I spent a marvillous time. Erica is a magnificent and sunny person. I felt really confortable. She treated me like a friend and this before I came. The tasks were easy (cleaning, reception) and I shared them with another volunteer who was also very charming. in addition, the place (Erica made a warm and welcoming place for the pilgrims) is very cosy and nice. I met everyday different people. I recommend the experience for the place but also to meet the phenomenal Erica. I practiced with her my Spanish better than I expected. Thank you so much Erica for everything. Love

Haber hecho voluntariado en el hostel fue una de esas experiencias que quedan en el corazón. El hostel tiene una vibra única, donde todo se siente familiar y auténtico. Érica, Nerea y Miryan son lo más: siempre atentas, alegres y con esa energía que te hace sentir en casa desde el primer día. Tuve la suerte de compartir también con mis compañeros voluntarios Pedro Luis y Gisel, con quienes pasé momentos divertidos y llenos de complicidad. Me voy feliz y agradecida, sin dudas volvería una y mil veces.

Esta fue mi segunda experiencia en el hostel, y fue aún mejor que la primera vez. El equipo, es increíble y te hacen sentir en casa desde el primer día. Mención especial para Borja en el apoyo de limpieza y para Sardi en el apoyo emocional. Gratitud infinita y abundancia para todes! 🫶
