At the beginning I found Castrojeriz - the village where the hotel was situated - too much isolated and with little stimulation but little by little I discovered a place full of charm and things to discover, I really appreciate the village. The situation with the host wasn't easy since the beginning: we had a quarrel for tiny stuff - for example the way I had to load the dishwasher and instead of trying to resolve the dispute she decided not talking to me so I always had to made the first step in order to restablish the situation. I found it very frustrating and I didn't feel welcomed.

La experiencia no fue buena, ya que a la voluntaria le costaba acatar los compromisos adquiridos y su proactividad dejaba bastante que desear. Tuvimos una conversación referente a su actitud ante las tareas que había que realizar y la forma de actuar ante otros voluntarios y los peregrinos (era altamente egocéntrica, anteponiendo sus deseos ante lo que hubiera que realizar en ese momento), pero al día siguiente se le había olvidado.
Creo que antes de hacer otro voluntariado serían puntos importantes a analizar.

Estar em um lugar que faz parte do Caminho de Santiago já é uma experiência incrível. E poder voltar ao the hostel em uma temporada diferente e poder sentir a vibe dos peregrinos outra vez foi ainda melhor! O albergue acolhe pessoas de todo o mundo, cada um com um propósito e necessidades diferentes, por isso o trabalho deve ser feito com dedicação e vontade. Sou muito grata por poder contribuir e já estou ansiosa pela próxima temporada.

Castrojeriz é uma cidade pequena daquelas que todos se conhecem... Está localizada a uns 40km de Burgos e é um ótimo lugar pra fazer amizades. O principal público do Albergue são peregrinos que estão fazendo o Caminho até Santiago de Compostela, então temos contato com pessoas de todas as nacionalidades, uma excelente oportunidade de praticar vários idiomas. Geralmente eles ficam apenas 1 noite e saem logo cedo para seguir o caminho, então as atividades do hostel são bem tranquilas. E os anfitriões Belén e José são maravilhosos. Me senti como se fosse da família. Amei tudo e quero voltar.
