Posada Real del Buen Camino, alojamiento rural

I’m a pilgrim on the Via de la Plata—I wasn’t feeling well and finished 33 Kilometers, so it was excellent to stop here. The bed was very comfortable—I didn’t leave my room once, just rested.

Everything was excellent.

Maria was beyond a gracious and wonderful host. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and special. She was great to visit with and share stories. One of a kind lady.

Just needed a fan. Otherwise perfect!

Me permitieron acceder a la habitación antes de la hora estipulada. La habitación era muy amplia y el baño estaba bien equipado.

No hay nada destacable. Es un pueblo que no tiene casi nada por lo que los precios del alojamiento y cena me parecieron un poco caros.

The room was nice, and comfortable with a good bathroom. Breakfast was served by the proprietor who came from elsewhere to attend to us. She did not speak English, and did not live in the same building - we were the only guests in the place.

We arrived at night and it was difficult to find because there are hardly any lights or other inhabitants of the village. There is no bar or shop, so the bread for breakfast was not freshly cooked. The worst thing was that we arrived five minutes after the time we expected to check in, and there was no one at all in the building - also the telephone number cut off before anyone answered. It was only by contacting our son who speaks Spanish and managed to get through eventually, that the lady turned up at the posada and let us in. She didn't appear to be at all apologetic! We saw several references to pilgrimage and felt sorry for weary walkers who missed their check in time and couldn't get in touch, though some reviews in the visitors' book referred to a charming hostess who had cooked lovely meals for them!
