Villallana Holidays from £310

Wonderful alberque. Be prepared for a bit of a different experience. To help eliminate unwanted bed bugs, which hitch a ride on pilgrims bags, your gear is stored in lockers downstairs and a laundry basket provided to bring up what's needed. Your gear in the locker is secured by a key and another locker upstairs as well. The beds are made and the shower, sink, toilet ratio per person is excellent. The only "flaw" is no shaded area to wait before the 4pm open. You can sit on the grass in back, but a few chairs or a bench would have been good.

I had a translation problem in beginning but all worked out in end. My wife and I enjoyed our time (I had to work remotely for a couple of days) but mirador del sella was comfortable, quiet and quite a lovely place. The mountain and sea views are magnificent. Would recommend a stay anytime.

Good staff. Warm welcome. Old by-passed hotel typical of Spain. Just managing. Low room rate manages your expectations. Food was good. Warm atmosphere of locals. Only negative was the locked fire exit to the main bar. A push bar MUST be fitted.
