Eri& Nico are lovely people, who will make you feel at home! Everyone working in the cafe is super friendly as well! The place is really beautiful, directly in front of the sea (the hostel beach is stunning and more natural:) It's a chill hostel, the work is easy to do, hours are respected. It's a good way to practice some spanish too! Breakfast & coffee is delicious as well:) Just note, that its a bit futher off of the city, you will enjoy it if you like nature & a relaxed vibe!

I had such wonderful. Eri is always busy, but she was always thinking about everyone and made adjustments for us multiple times. She is a very bright, energetic, and lovely person. Nico is calm, and whenever I had trouble, he was always there to help. This hostel has a very family-like atmosphere where you can get really close to the guests. There is also a café attached, and many local staff work together here. They are all very friendly, and we often went to the beach or had meals together. Even though I couldn't speak Spanish, everyone was kind and welcoming. LOVE you all.

My time spent at the hostel volunteering at Palto Café was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel at home thanks to Nico, Eri, and Dario. Los the hostel hosts a stunning night sky, incredible landscapes, and undoubtedly charming people. The work at the café is simple, the atmosphere is warming, and it is situated with a beautiful view right across the street from the shore. Overall was a terrific experience, and I look forward to returning during the summertime. Thankful for the wonderful staff for helping me create an experience I'll never forget. ❤️
