Several other pilgrims have reported how kind and helpful Jose is. I feel grateful The Way led me to this one.After having a bad night with a big snoring incident in a stuffy closed window dorm, I was seeking a bit of calm. It´s on the right side of the street coming in, across the street from the larger Bodega Albergue, which is a different business. Jose was so kind and just exudes a compassionate feeling. He gave me a room with a view. All the action is across the street, but if you want a free real live laptop, Chopin in the cafe, and a low'key, helpful vibe, choose this one.
Holy smokes that is expensive. I assumed 50 euros to 100 euros per night. But, 450 euros for a weekend?! I can't imagine they get much business, and at that price they must treat one like royalty.For the ex monastery buildings which are now an EXPENSIVE casa rurale see http://www.lasacristana.com/
I staggered up the street looking at both albergues, Jose happened to be near the doorway, welcomed me warmly and that was that. Took me upstairs and told me to take a nap, come down when I was refreshed, and then we would "take care of everything". Dinner was good too, with plenty of fresh fruit for the following day. A very thoughtful and caring person. I would make a point of trying to stay there next time - CherryAfter having a bad night with a big snoring incident in a stuffy closed window dorm, I was seeking a bit of calm.

Yes , what a great hamlet Lorca is and one would think that there would be negative vibes between 2 albergues opposite one another but there is none at all ........in fact the problem here is that the Mayor of the town insists that no chairs are allowed outside , Traffic first , not people.
I have been to the more commercial albergue accross the road 4 times and can thouroughly recommend it.
To be fair I go across to Jose for eats and drinks to support them. Jose's Sidekick has an almost complete collection of ROD STEWART cds.
Lorca rather than Estella for me ................HANDS DOWN!!
This place is extra special to me for meeting YOU dearest Theatregal ! I'm sitting on that bench in your photo!Yes, it was a friendly vibe between the two. Very narrow streets in Lorca so I can understand the difficulty of chairs on the streets - though there was a very nice bench in front of Jose's place. I look forward to staying here again.
Yes you are! Memories of a great evening visit after the lovely meal prepared by Jose Ramon and the start of a wonderful new friendship!This place is extra special to me for meeting YOU dearest Theatregal ! I'm sitting on that bench in your photo!
Thanks for photos and clarificationJose Ramon's Albergue is on the right as you walk through Lorca (First photo) and the Albergue Bodega del Camino is opposite on the left (Second photo).
