PelancongGreat to see that the Albergue has developed it was very primitive when I was first there. Well done on fording the arroyo!
PelancongThe albergue is not wonderful. If I could find a broom (I can’t) I’d give it a sweep. And the bins are all full. Cleanliness is not its strong point. Still, the beds have the good blue plastic covers, the shower was hot, and there is a line outside in the hot sun!
