Description
We are a one shell on the camino De Santiago in La Portela de Valcarce Spain.
We offer beds and comunal dinners, lunch and breakfasts for pilgrims on the camino Frances.
Workawayers would help with checking in pilgrims, cleaning and maintenance in the Albergue and participating in comunal dinners and breakfasts.
Workawayers would have a bedroom to themselves with a bathroom shared with pilgrims and all meals included.
We ask that workawayers stay a minimum of 4 weeks in order to have the time required to familiarize themselves with the daily tasks.
