Hontanas Albergue - Fantastic Albergue

[Marus99]

I wanted to post about a new albergue that opened a year ago. It’s called Albergue Fuente Sidres and is 2.5 km before Hontanas. It’s not in the guidebooks (too new) but is on Camino Ninja under a village called Castellanos de Castro. It’s run by a lovely lady called Diana. It has a bar, restaurant, small pool, cool music. The facilities are immaculate. Two 6 bed dorms. Super modern. Free laundry. It’s on booking.com. I am here right now. Prob best place I have stayed on three caminos. It looks like nothing at all from the path but please check it out.

Diana opened the albergue just a few months after the initial lockdowns ended, so it's been operational for a few years now. Some of you may remember Diana from the municipal albergue in Hontanas.

The albergue also has a nice elevated platform to the west for proper sunset enjoyment.

I stopped here for coffee a few days ago and honestly could have stayed for so much longer - the outside seating is a perfect sun trap

I stayed there two nights ago and couldn't agree more. Diana is awesome and so is her sidekick. What a character. The immaculate accommodations and dinner were great. Free laundry with solar dryer was unexpected. The sunset out on the deck was best spent with the other Pilgrims. Then we stayed outside to watch the full moon rise. Magical!

I agree. I had the pleasure to stay there in May. New, modern and Diana is a gem. If just all alberque had been like this it had been great.
