Program Details

As for you personally, we'd like you to have a big, beautiful and open heart, flexibility, an out-of-the-box learning mentality, speak English well and preferably more than basic Spanish, and especially willing to immerse yourself in the Camino de Santiago, both in the mind/ spirit of the guest (pilgrims only), as well as the go-to person for advice.
Once you step into the albergue, we will surely ask you for the experience you 'd like to gét, while staying with us. And we'll do our best to provide.

Activities & Shift

The daily tasks, 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, involves:
- From 06.30 on: take care of pilgrims' breakfast, making sure everyone has left by 08.30
- From 08.30 on: collect sheets, do laundry, make beds and rooms
- 09.00 -12.00: Cleaning of the albergue
- 13.00 -18.00: Check-in (incl. pilgrims' laundry)
- 21.00 -23.00: Prepare breakfast and closing of the albergue
Depending on the month, some tasks may be combined into one shift.

Rules

Although the albergue has a very casual vibe, we value proper presentation and hospitality. We'd really like your profile to have a few clear pictures of you.
And: not so much a rule, but rather the vision for our team:
- Cheerful energy with personal hospitable attention for guests
- Cooperation with efficiency in the tasks (know what is important, perfection is not required, but the best version of yourself is).
- Openness in the team (speak out to each other, clear the air as quickly as possible)
