Description
We are looking for help during the main pilgrim season, which lasts from the end of April to the end of October
Help us hosting pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago
We have recently restored the old priest´s home of Boente (Galicia, Spain) into a cozy 8 bedroom B&B for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. Our property includes 4 acres of land with a vegetable garden, an orchard and plenty of green. Our dog, a few sheep and a gang of chickens keep us company.
Our B&B is located in small hamlet, half way between the Santiago (47 km) and Lugo (50 km) which can be reached by public bus service. More closer by are the villages of Arzúa (8 km) and Melide (6 km), where you can find any type of services and supermarkets.Types of help and learning opportunities

But they all share the common experience of walking the Camino and making new friends and great memories. Everyone has a tale to tell, often times in more than one language at the time....
