    There's been some very good kind responses here and VNwalking put it best but to be frank, speaking as someone who has done both of my caminos as a "vegan", no one cares what you eat and what labels you assign yourself in this PC culture, be kinder to yourself and do as others have suggested...

    Doing i didn't pick the area, the area picked me, they're more like barns and yes they exist, hence my line of genuine enquiry, Thankyou for your post and best wishes, God bless.

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    I absolutely agree and that would be my plan. This thread was just to test the water to see the experience of others who have passed through/stayed in O Cebreiro. Thankyou, will message you.

    Hopefully that experience built your character in some way? There's a silver lining to every cloud I believe. Thankyou for sharing.

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    Yes it does seem to be the absolute most important point. I don't want to upset the apple cart or anything like that and I like to be on good terms with everyone if possible, I just feel there is room for everyone to win here, no one has to lose! Thankyou for your link, I will check it out and...

    My dream isn't to open an albergue but to transform ruined farm buildings into something beautiful and of value to the local community and its people, also to regenerate the land it sits on, whatever comes of that is a bonus.

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    Not solitude as such, poor wording on my behalf, more peace and quiet. I don't want to locate it there, that's just where it is located, first and foremost it would be my home. Who knows what pilgrims want to do, they're a crazy bunch Thankyou for your response.

    [quote removed) "The region of Galicia is located in the North West of Spain. It covers an area of 29 574 km2 of which 97.8% is rural. The region is home to 2.7 million people with a depopulation and progressive aging of the population in rural areas. The unemployment rate is 20.7%, among...

    (quote of deleted post removed) Thankyou for sharing your opinions and beliefs, I appreciate the feedback, I feel you have misjudged me however. Everyone serves in different ways in the best way they know how and I would hope in a way that makes them happy and fulfilled providing it does no...

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    For me it isn't about the revenue but about the cultural exchange, the value being added to those who would stay there, the knowledge gained and a boost of positive energy. Obviously it would have to be financially viable but it's not about getting rich. My home would be there too..

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    Incorrect! The site I'm looking at is literally right next to the path and is around 15 minutes before you reach O Cebreiro. Farming would be a supplemental income for me too, based on a regenerative agriculture model with a Permaculture design.

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    I appreciate your response, Thankyou. Good thing I'm not in the bar or restaurant business then, more of a self-catering kind of guy but I would sell locally grown/sourced produce. Still not seeing any actual obstacles here, also it wouldn't actually be in O Cebreiro but in the immediate area.

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    Thankyou for your response, I'm curious to learn why you think that. What reasons back up that thought? And why is it difficult? (I'm-possible )
  18. Ryan Alexander

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    When I say high end I just mean affordable prices but you get better quality for what you pay.. What do you mean by "tone/mood"? How would that be changed by offering another option?! Sure the local monopoly might be impacted which might not be appreciated but that's the nature of progress and...

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    Would you have stayed though if there had been an alternative off the beaten track, away from the centre of O Cebreiro about 15 mins before?
  20. Ryan Alexander

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    So that's a yes then, you think people would stay at O Cebreiro if that was a high end albergue/pension there? Thankyou for your response
