So a few days ago I had the good fortune to stay at Alberque La Ferreria. It is located in Amandi which is about 2kms. past Villaviciosa.
Where else can you find a gumball machine that dispenses earplugs instead of gumballs? Needless to say the hospitalero Sergio has an interesting sense of humor as well as being an all around kind person.
Right before dinner I saw his wife in the garden picking the lettuce which was to become part of our dinner salad. The eggs at breakfast were from his chickens (yes, we had a real breakfast - not just toast and juice ). The point being that if you stay there you will be well cared for.
Other alberques that I feel are worth mentioning include the one in the country just beyond Deba (can't remember the name - it's been a long day); El Pino in Cobreces and tonight's - Casa Carmina in Muros de Nalon.
Since I don't always stay in alberques there are likely a few that I have missed.
Buen Camino.
