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!

My experience at the hostel was really nice. It's a wonderful place where you can slow down and enjoy the little moments. I got along well with all the volunteers and with Juan, who always ensures that everyone feels comfortable. The work is not too tiring, and you will always find someone willing to help if you need it. Astorga is quite close, and you can reach it by walking, which I really appreciated. Grateful to have been there, see you on the next Camino!

I stayed at the hostel for 4 weeks. Juan, the owner of the place, is a really good chef and i am very grateful to him for the opportunity to make such experience. The tasks in August are very easy to do and we were 4 volunteers. Every morning we woke up and decide the task for each one of us. But the best part for me is to share my time with pilgrims and other volunteers. Thanks to Eric, i had a super time playing volley with you. Thanks Dong, Nivia, Lucho and Chiara, you will always have a piece of my heart. It's a quiet and peaceful place, if you are into that, i recommend it!

The albergue lies in a small village of just over 100 residents, an Eden away from all the bustle and hustle of mega cities. It's exactly a South Park: "Friendly faces everywhere, humble folks without temptation!" Heads-up to party animals or city people, there's no parities or fancy dinners in the village, so don't even bother to send a request. The albergue lives in simplicity and semi-autosuffiency which is perfect for me as a minimalist. I got along well with other fellow volunteers and Juan, a caring and great person!! My honor to return to the Camino and serve the pilgrims. I had a blast

I very much enjoyed stay at the albergue. It is a charming place with beds, bar and outside garden with hammocks where locals and pilgrims can rest. The owner, Juan, is a sweetheart. He will share his heart with you and amazing Camino stories. By the way, you will learn how to make the most amazing tasting tres leches and paella. If you need some quiet time away from the city and crowds, this is your spot.
