Albergue Ecológico El Beso, A Balsa
Jirit are you sure? I stayed there last month and cannot recall this room unless it was the upstairs room where the hospitelero family lived?
I had an enjoyable stop eating dinner outdoors with good company
I don't think this is an albergue but the lovely little Ermita just after you cross the road leaving Triacastela behing when you opt not to go to Samos. It was lovingly restored by a Brit who paints watercolours. There are living quarters below ( it's on a hill) but the ground floor is a space with a place to sit to the right, and a little altar on the left. Music playing. When I was there there was a thermos of hot water and tea bags.
Whether this is the place @SabineP is looking for, I don't know, but it was a pleasure looking at the pics on @jirit's post. It is such a delight to see these old relics so lovingly restored. So much work but .... oh ...... so satisfying.
Yes indeed I do remember the watercolours. So it must be a different place than the Dutch albergue.
It's the art gallery in al balsa or al beso it is owned by an English man. The hostel is earlier down road ran by Dutchman and Italian or Spanish girl.Does anyone remember this place? Im my memory it is after Triacastela. Quiet place , I did not see the owner. A good place for praying and meditation...If anyone can shed a light?
