The Experience

We are a local family business located in the Camino de Santiago, in León. Very experienced receiving people from all around the world and sharing their stories and adventures. We would love to host a responsible person willing to learn and to help with the daily tasks (cleaning, cooking, check in). We have plenty of nature surrounding us and we love animals here. We are looking forward to hear from you :)

It was my second time volunteering at the hostel, because since the first time, it felt like home. The place is a paradise, and much of that has to do with the people you will find there. Evi and Juan are the kindest, friendliest, and most peaceful people you will ever meet in your life. Every guest who passes through there, even for a night, can agree with me because they never want to leave! The tasks are light and enjoyable to do, there's always music around, everything is in order, and it's flexible at the same time. You become part of the family if you're also good vibes and proactive!

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel! I helped with reception, housekeeping, and breakfast. Juan, the host, was incredibly generous—he helped me explore nearby sections of El Camino and introduced me to the vibrant, creative community that brings El Camino to life in such a special and wholesome way. The albergue itself is full of history, beauty, and heart, and the team dorm was so comfortable that it truly felt like a second home. Tasks were manageable and naturally varied depending on the number of pilgrims. Overall, a beautiful experience I highly recommend!

I value effective leadership: a positive attitude, skills and knowledge. Prior to my departure, it was noted that an effort was made to accomplish all of the above. Our host/Juan ensured that all of us were healthy, engaged, and clear about our responsibilities.

My experience was full of learning. I got to know so much about the Camino de Santiago by talking with pilgrims and sharing time with Juan and his friends. The tasks are in the morning cleaning, and helping pilgrims in the afternoon at the bar and reception, assisting with dinner, and washing dishes. There's no fixed schedule, so it's very important to coordinate well with the others volunteers to organize the free day and break during the day. If you're looking to learn about the Camino, enjoy nature, and connect deeply with locals, pilgrims, and others volunteers, this experience is for you

My first volunteering experience has been absolutely amazing and unforgettable! From the first day I felt at home. Juan is a beautiful person, he takes care of every volunteer. The albergue is cosy, surrounded by nature, the environment is peaceful. It is a special place full of good vibes. Tasks are easy and there's always someone ready to help you if you need. I have learnt so many things. Talking to pilgrims and assisting them has been a true pleasure. I feel so grateful to have enjoyed this incredible life experience, I will carry it in my heart forever. Gracias!
