Some are welcomed at Manjarin and love it; some find it a less than welcoming place. Manjarin never changes, it just is. In thick fog, or when the snow is blowing sideways, and Tomas is banging that bell then the welcome can feel as good as the welcome at 'the last homely house east of the sea'. On a sunny summers day when the 'tourists' are jumping out of their buses to get 'that' photo and Tomas blocks the doorway with his sword...well, maybe its another place.
There was a time when 'no servicios'; 'no agua caliente'; 'con asilo' would have done but those days are passing. Nevertheless I hope that Manjarin will be there for those that need it for a while yet.

Honestly, I was there today and got the worst vibe. I would not stay there. But maybe that is just me :)

Tomas is an "interesting" guy. I have met him 3 times and each time his affect is different. Celine, you would not be the first to have had this feeling. I have never had a bad issue there.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I have read several threads regarding this place! We passed by it twice in very bad weather conditions..both snow and high winds...I would rather face the elements outside!

My first time, I got to Manjarin quite miserable after being caught in worsening rain and sleet on the walk from Foncebadon. (It was only my second day on the camino, and I hadn't learned layering and how to anticipate bad conditions.) I was SOOOO glad to find warm shelter :). After a hot tea, warming up and rearranging all my layers, I decided I was able to walk on to Acebo for more luxurious accommodation. However, I really was grateful for having that shelter from the elements when I needed it.
