THE BEST PLACE ON THE WHOLE CAMINO

Albergue El Encanto is the best place which I visited on the Camino to Santiago. Very clean, with perfect WiFi and beautifully arranged. The host, Marta is super welcome and helpful. But doesn't matter what I write, I can't explain how nice is this place. Don't miss it! Dear Marta, thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness!
