Fantastic new albergue, opened in April, just 1.5 kms after Triacastela. It's called Albergue Ecologico El Beso (The Kiss), and as the name implies, they are all eco-friendly. The location is incredible, in the tranquil valley on the road to San Xil.

Costs: 8 euros for the bed, 3 euros for breakfast, and donativo for the vegetarian dinner.

The hosts, Jessica and Marijin, are former pilgrims. Along with their sweet dog, Chico, they provide exactly the kind of hospitality that keeps the spirit of the Camino alive.

Even if you want to walk on to Samos the next day, you will add only 20 minutes to your walk. Albergue El Beso is definitely worth the diversion to get away from the busy-ness of Triacastela.

Looks really good! The owners were also portrayed sometime ago in a dutch tv documentary regarding the camino.

We were there in May, too. Very memorable, and sweet people! The hosts prepared an excellent communal vegetarian dinner for us.

I could not agree more with your comments, Nancy about El Beso. I spend a wonderful evening/night in this albergue with Jessica and Marijin and two other pilgrims shortly after they opened in late April of this past Spring. It is one of the highlights of my Camino.

I stayed here on 25 Oct 2014, and it was WONDERFUL!!! What a treat to see photos of the building of this peaceful albergue! I'll never forget the breakfast of hot crepes with about five or six different types of jam - including fig and blueberry!!
May the Camino watch over this great little family ~ ~
