Hotel Restaurante Auto-Bar

I came here while hiking the Camino Primitivo. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very very small. The bathroom is so compact, there isn’t much room to move around. It is on the cheaper end, so I didn’t expect something super fancy. Unfortunately, there is no laundry machine here. I came here to get some sleep because during my last visit to an alburgue, someone snored so loud I couldn’t sleep. The walls are thin, but they do have a quiet time after 23:00. Overall, it was sufficient and better than sleeping in a dorm with 7 more people.

This was my first stop at Primitivo from Ovedio and it was in July, which was a very busy period. I wasn't expecting that Albergues had to be pre-booked and came across this hotel in the town, I'm glad I wasn't reserved in Albergue that night as the room I got was much nicer than what you can expect and that comfort on the first day have given me a taste of what's about to come. The lady at the bar was very kind, and we managed to communicate with my broken 'Spanglish', which also helped me to prioritise learning Spanish through this journey.

Great place for pilgrims to stay. Owners are very helpful even if you don't speak Spanish. The menu for pilgrims was very good with big servings. Clean and quiet.
