Thread starter HedaP Start date Feb 3, Does anyone know the albergue that is in a small town on the CF? It is near a brothel called something like El Club that is much favoured by truck drivers. Please note the later is an assumption based not on personal experience but on the parking lot.
The albergue is relatively small with a few small dormitories and the double bunks have been converted into single beds by removing the mattress from the top bunk. What was the top bunk can be used a storage space. It has a nice garden and backs onto fields. Locals were collecting walnuts in a neighbouring field when I stayed there.
HedaP I do not know the particular place you mean but walking the Via de la Plata in the past year I noticed quite a few similar establishments on the carretera sections of the route. Often on the very edge of town or in the middle of nowhere. The vast majority seem to have closed down and be up for sale. I did wonder if there had been some change in the law that forced these closures or if they were simply no longer money-making businesses?
That was in Villamayor. The albergue is San Luis de Francia as posted above Great home cooked food from the lady's huge garden. Agree with mspath above re: Albergue San Luis de Francia. There is a restaurant about. Been to both places twice. A waiter at the restaurant proudly showed me photos of Shirley MacLaine with her bodyguard at the restaurant when she was on the Camino in the early 's.
