Albergue de peregrinos de El Carrascalejo - Comentarios

The last time I walked this Camino, I stayed in the albergue at Aljucen and I wasn't impressed. This time, I chose the albergue in Carrascalejo. The village is small - nothing in it except for the church - and I had my reservations about staying because I didn't want to be a captive customer and be charged more for everything. But, I did stay. Not many pilgrims stay here and I had a dorm room all to myself. The showers are hot and the place is very clean. The couple that run it are lovely. They are clearly un-jaded from all of the pilgrim traffic that so many other albergues are jaded by, so my advice is to stay here while the pilgrims are really needed. I had a plate of food in the restaurant - it was excellent and a good price. There are many reasons for why you should stay here, especially since from here it is only cc. 22 km to the end of this stage.
